We don’t care how. We just want to help teachers get kids coding. And what better time of the year to do so? We trust that everyone has been having a great CS Ed Week, but if you want to try some new things towards the end of it or carry it over into next week or even next year, we’ve got some suggestions for how you can do it.
Rather than have two separate sales for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we thought we’d just combine the two into one big, long, savings-filled event. So, all the savings you could get starting Friday at midnight are going to continue until Tuesday at midnight. Open the post to shop and save on brands like Snap Circuits, Makey Makey, and more.
We’re all about saving teachers money on the EdTech tools they need for true 21st century learning. True, we are about this every day of the year. Today, however, we’re even more about this because, you know what? It’s Black Friday! Starting RIGHT NOW, you can enjoy incredible, weekend-long savings on some of the best EdTech products in our store.
The Code–a–pillar is a robotic tool for introducing kids as young as three to coding. Its replaceable sections—just like the ones on a real caterpillar—represent different actions and kids customize them and control the robot’s movements! No other early education STEM tool provides a better balance of programming and play than the Code–a–pillar.
Did you catch us in Boston this past Friday? Or were you lucky enough to be at AASL 2017 in Arizona last weekend? If you were there, hopefully you stopped by to visit us. If not, don’t worry. There will also be plenty more opportunities to see our booth in person the rest of the year. More on that later, but first let’s tell you about our latest events.
Boston’s world-famous Museum of Science is in the process of redesigning its famed Blue Wing and hosted a dinner Monday night to announce new plans for how they will enhance STEM learning for a broader audience. Among the highlights of the Putting Your Tech Foot Forward event, were distinguished speakers and hands-on stations.
Since it is Halloween and all, we got to thinking about how teachers could celebrate with technology. Sure, they could build something to scare their students, but that could take time and we’re all about helping teachers save time. We thought the next best thing would be adding some appropriately colored robots to the fold.
If you’ve been following along and following our social media, you certainly know how busy we’ve been in October. That trend continued last week as we headed to upstate New York and spent some time with our good friends from the Syracuse area, attending two separate events on Wednesday and Thursday.
The various educational drone kits from OnPoynt are designed to allow for class-wide collaboration and getting your students innovating, 3D printing, and flying both in and outside the classroom safely and effectively. Plus, OnPoynt’s line of innovative and highly customizable drones take learning to new heights—both literally and figuratively.
Here’s the thing. It can get expensive when teachers are trying to obtain STEM tools for students to use in the classroom. We get that, which is why we offer an Educator Discount because we believe firmly that cost should never stand in the way of a child getting the education he or she needs. That being said, there are plenty of other ways to reduce costs.
