Whether it’s robotics, circuitry, engineering, or something else, there are obviously a myriad of STEM solutions available to today’s K-12 teachers. With all these options, they often look for something to differentiate them and, regularly, that’s the curricular component. With the NAO V6, Dash Robot, Finch 2.0, and more, they can get those key guides included.
Teaching students about drones, their uses, and how to pilot them is amazing in its own right. When you incorporate the fact that some drones, like the Tello EDU, are programmable, then it takes drone education to a whole new level and the DroneBlocks professional learning content is a great way to get started.
Curricular content for the Wonder Workshop robots (Dash, Dot, and Cue) and the Root Robot is available on our store—and each offer as great of an educational advantage for teachers as they do for students! Keep reading to learn more about each of these curriculum guides and their specific benefits in the classroom.
One way for coding education to be more meaningful is for educators to have access to coinciding curriculum so they know what concepts to cover and how to illustrate them. Another way is for them to learn about the STEM tools they’ll be using to teach coding and this kind of PD is another key resource.
As Tom Brady looks to win his fifth Super Bowl ring on Sunday in Houston (and who doesn’t want that?), it’s one of the biggest weekends of the year for sports fans. Not to diminish the rest of the calendar, but it’s also big for 21st century education fans. As schools near their 100th day celebrations, we’re also looking towards next year as well and planning STEM projects.
Remote-controlled (or RC) toys have been popular since the debut of the first RC car in the late 1960s. The newest RC toy on the market these days? Personal drones: little flying machines, often modeled after helicopters, with a set of propellers to keep them airborne. Light, easy to fly, and tons of fun, every kid (and adult!) these days wants a drone.
