If you’ve never heard TeacherCast, now’s a good time to start. As the summer’s winding down (we’re sorry), it’s time for teachers to start getting ready for the new school year. There may be struggles. There may be kicking and screaming. And, there may be some overwhelmed feelings when it comes to procuring the best tech tools for students.
We’ve launched a special sale to provide everyone access to our Educator Discount pricing for one month! Head to the Eduporium store, select any of the products below, and new, deeply discounted prices will appear in your cart!

As another school year approaches—or maybe it’s your first one—it certainly doesn’t hurt to try new things. Many of those new things will come in the form of different educational technologies. Everything from robotics and coding to engineering, 3D printing, and virtual reality is on the table for teachers this school year.
We’ve decided to do a bit more in terms of bulk EdTech fulfillment. Our research has told us that teachers like to have a number of compatible EdTech products for students to use collaboratively. So, we thought ‘Hey, that’s a pretty good idea,’ and set out to create custom tech bundles for our partners. Here are some of our favorites.
At Eduporium, we like tech tools that progress with students as they learn more skills. There are plenty of kits and product lines that do the same and one of them, which we were only introduced to recently, is E-Blox. The E-Blox team has created a new and perhaps even more exciting spin on LEGO’s—one that will get kids excited about STEAM!
With one quick sign-up, you could have the opportunity to win $100 worth of STEM, maker, and PBL tools to help revamp your classroom, library, or makerspace (or make it pop even more)! Our daily trivia contest is continuing all summer long with a new chance to win $100 to the Eduporium store every single night! Sign up to get started.
Coding is an extremely large topic in modern education and has enormous implications on the futures of today’s students. As the flood of coding toys, tools, and websites out there continue to expand, we chatted with Weston Hagan, Director at Let’s Start Coding, about connecting coding with more of today’s existing academic standards when building a new product.
VR can send students to new environments, to landmarks they’ve never seen before, and to sites they’d otherwise never be able to explore. And, that’s just what a basic viewer is capable of doing. Bring the incredible capabilities of the Oculus Rift VR Bundle into the conversation and it becomes a whole new ballgame.
In 21st century education, much has been made about game-baed learning and its place in the classroom. Some educators and learning experts have questioned its legitimacy as a teaching approach while others have embraced it and used it effectively. Now, students also have the opportunity to create their own games!
It’s not every day we get to travel across the country. And, it’s certainly not every day that we get to take part in such an incredible event in an amazing city! That’s how we spent last week, though, exhibiting at our first ISTE conference and truly taking the Eduporium name and mission nationwide, which was an amazing experience.
