We were fortunate to sponsor a Virtual Summit session led by fourth grade teacher, Jasmine Saab, and give away a Wonder Starter Pack to one lucky attendee! That attendee would end up being Imani Malaika-Mehta, who is the executive director of the KC Creators Club in Kansas City, and put this post together about her experiences with teaching STEM.
For Rick, participating in something of so much significance provided a great teaching opportunity for him and a great learning opportunity for his two young children. Shortly after the march, Rick spoke with a reporter from the Boston Business Journal and they published the dialogue of the interview earlier this week.
Whether teaching computer science lessons using the Sphero Mini, BOLT, or RVR, Sphero’s robotics solutions open up a whole lot of possibilities for computer science education. You can also try taking your STEAM teaching and learning further and pair the robots with the corresponding curriculum, Sphero’s CS Foundations Courses, which are now available on our store!
For the month of May, the award has been given to Jessica Herr, a teacher at the TC McSwain Elementary School in Staunton, Virginia! With the STEAM tools she’ll be receiving from us, Jessica has a pretty amazing project planned—one that involves drones, coding, bees, and plenty of collaboration for students.
Jasmine teaches all subjects, so this allows her to create some pretty fun, cross-curricular lessons. These types of lessons make it possible for her to teach her students all about interesting and relevant subject area content while also introducing them to the world of computer science and coding—and some of her favorite tools to use are the Dash, Dot, and Cue!
We’re putting together this running collection of remote learning resources for educators to explore during school closures caused by the coronavirus. We will make updates to this page regularly as new resources are provided from reputable education providers and we wish everybody lots of success in remote teaching and learning. You’ve got this!
Starting in early elementary, students can use the Root Robot to try block coding, move onto hybrid coding in upper elementary and middle school, and then use it to learn text coding in upper middle and high school. Since teachers and students now find themselves navigating remote learning, its newest features help make the Root even more appealing.
Students—particularly those who love trying new, STEAM-related activities or experiments—might be looking for any new things to try at home by this point in time. Well, if they do, in fact, enjoy STEAM, there’s a great new tool they can try with any computer. The SpaceX team has created this docking simulation tool that anybody can use to practice landing skills from home.
Writers from the educational publication, EdTech Digest, announced last week the finalists and winners for all sorts of various categories in EdTech excellence. Eduporium was selected as one of five finalists in the exciting Maker/DIY Tools Solution category, underscoring their commitment to providing K-12 educators with hands-on STEAM solutions.
The team at Tech Will Save Us has created a unique line of STEAM learning tools—kits students can use to learn about a lot of different aspects of STEAM education. From conductivity and circuitry to coding and sewing, their increasing variety of options provides something for students with various interests to design and construct projects at home.
