It’s Women’s History Month, and to celebrate, we’ll be highlighting some of the most significant historical accomplishments female STEM leaders have made. Recognizing the contributions of these women is an inspiration both to educators and future women in STEM. Read on for details on how these women gave us Wi-Fi, programming, chemotherapy, OLEDs, and more.
In the United States, 34.6% of high school students participate in sports. Incorporating sports into your classroom STEM learning can boost retention and engagement. Try STEM Sports kits to show kids the science behind their favorite sports and inspire them to pursue real-world applications of STEM. Check out these turnkey, standards-aligned curricula in this blog.
A large percentage of parents and K–12 teachers are aware that computer science and STEM education can impact children starting at a very young age. They may not, however, have all the key information when it comes to how to facilitate these learning experiences. From kindergarten up through high school, these robotics tools help kids progressively develop CS skills.
The Aerial Drone Competition is one of the most popular educational drone events in America and the CoDrone EDU is one of few drones approved for the competitions. In this blog, we’ll explain how to register teams for drone events, why the CoDrone EDU is well-suited for competition requirements, and how to be successful in each of the four piloting
Fostering environmental awareness in children could take many forms. We have identified some EdTech tools that truly help kids approach ecological learning from different perspectives. They can capture data from the world with robots, take their coding outside, use sustainable tools, and complete hands-on projects on renewable energy while expanding their eco literacy!
The Forward Education Climate Action Kit comes with everything a teacher needs to introduce green energy and environmental science concepts to students. Powered by the micro:bit, students will model sustainable energy solutions with robotic parts and building blocks in this kit appropriate for K-12 students. Kids will learn to invest in our eco-friendly future!
Older kids (14+) can use the 3Doodler Flow to craft projects for any class using teacher-created lesson plans. The Flow pen comes with a few great upgrades from the Start and Create, including a digital temperature display and spooled filament. These changes make the new Flow pen even more efficient when creating STEM projects such as a 3D model of
Eduporium’s co-founder, president, and CEO, Richard Fredkin, never really had what many tech executives would consider as a traditional start in the industry. That’s fine with him, however, since he’s found himself in a place that not too many other Black men have found themselves: in the leading role at a technology company. Learn more about his unique start inside.
Coding with the Bee-Bot Emulator works just like programming your actual Bee-Bot Robot but is completely separate from the main Bee-Bot app. The digital platform even displays the directional buttons in the same ways and plays the same sounds to help create familiarity and continuity for children. Plus, the emulator is accessible online without downloads or installations.
Our model of Ecological Education, or EcoEd, uses principles from Nature to inform all learning. In this white paper, we explain the need for a shift to project-based learning and the formation of an “Ecological Mindset.” EcoEd can equip students with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to create a sustainable future.
