As the summer ends, you probably don’t need us to tell you all this but it is buying time for classroom teachers, STEM professionals, and many school technology directors. To help move this process along and make it as easy and affordable as possible for everybody, we have created a bit of our own EdTech glossary to help you find

Despite conscious efforts from school and educational leaders, it’s tough to get girls as interested in STEM as their male counterparts. In fact, a great deal of female students lose interest by the time they’re in third or fourth grade. Why this may be is anybody’s guess, but some of the top reasons include the belief that they’re not as

With Squishy Circuits, students in preschool and the early grades can enjoy a new kind of interactive learning experience. No longer is tech integration something to fear when it comes to young kids. As long as it’s done purposefully and with the right tools, it can provide a wealth of valuable learning opportunities in early education.

You may have heard from the source itself (or maybe from our social media) that there was a new Raspberry Pi board launched on that very day. The Pi 3 is now the newest version of the powerful microcomputer and got us thinking about how schools can use each version of the Raspberry Pi in STEM education. Read on to

Teachers try every day to bring learning alive, but it hasn’t always been as easy to bring content alive. With zSpace’s amazing augmented reality system, however, all you get is interactive, exhilarating experiences. The content literally jumps off the screen, allowing students to hold, move, and manipulate 3D objects.

Eduporium, a one-stop STEM and Educational Technology solutions provider for teachers has been added to the PEPPM 2018 General Hardware and Software Catalog Contract. PEPPM is a national cooperative purchasing program that is dedicated to streamlining the process of EdTech procurement for educators. Learn more indside.

When students are given the freedom to invent unheard of solutions to problems and go about solving them in unique ways, they’re building a foundation for the future. A lot of the tools we’ll use in the next decade or two haven’t been invented yet. Most likely, a student somewhere in a K-12 school is going to be responsible for

Cubelets and STEM education just kind of go together. Already awesome at exposing super young students to engineering and programming, the addition of the Cubelets Classroom Packs have added a renewed focus on collaboration! All their kits allow educators to combine coding and engineering in the classroom.

Designed to provide students in second, fourth, and fifth grade with some innovative learning opportunities, teachers were thrilled to use the bundles of new technologies in their classrooms thanks to donations from our team and some of our premier manufacturer partners, including Ozobot, Sphero, Modular Robotics, Microbric, and E-Blox and the results are in!

After six weeks of using various STEM tools in their learning, students will be in the spotlight in less than two weeks, so we thought we’d check in and see how things have been going! Last Friday, we visited six different elementary school classrooms, where students were using different STEM tools—click to see how it went!
