You may remember a few months back we were excited to announce we had been approved as a registered provider of PD. Well, we finally got our PD feet wet last week and led our first hands-on teacher workshop event in collaboration with our friends from the Genesee Valley BOCES located in Le Roy, New York with about 35 people in attendance.
Parents and teachers sometimes shy away from introducing younger children to coding and robotics because they are under the impression that these subject areas are too complex for kids in the early grades. We are pleased to say, however, that, thanks to the recent revolution in educational robotics tools, there is no reason to fear coding.
At Eduporium, we all know what it takes to provide an enriched, authentic, and inclusive 21st century education that will truly prepare today’s kids for real-world challenges. We also know this isn’t easy for principals and their teachers to attain. There are burdens to innovating in education, including, most notably, high costs of modern learning tools.
As time goes by, virtual reality is becoming more than an insanely cool way to play video games or watch movies. It’s helping train STEM professionals and prepare people for the workforce and some of the common uses that could soon be a regular part of virtual reality. It’s also an effective instructional tool across K-12.
The Thames & Kosmos Hydropower Kit gives educators the potential to transform their classrooms into experimental labs and give their students the chance to investigate, innovate, and excel. Students can use versatile components to construct anything from a hydroelectric power station to an LED with flowing electricity.
If there are two students in the classroom and one is following along, trying to stay awake while a classmate recites a passage from their textbook and the other one is living the concepts the first one is reading about, which do you think is more fully engaged? No, this isn’t a trick question. The answer is Student 2 and the reason is active learning opportunities.
We know how challenging it can be to find classroom-friendly tech devices for today’s STEAM-first educators. By partnering with the EF’s that provide technology for teachers, schools, and children, we’ve helped eliminate that EdTech research process and help ensure your students are left using only the best and most affordable technology as they prep for the real world!

We’ve come a long way from the days of the first robot toys for kids, and now we are able to use incredible technology to simulate behaviors very close to the ones displayed by our actual furry friends. You may have guessed—based on that introduction—that we have recently come across an EdTech tool that fulfills this fantasy.
