Coding is a skill that’s going to be extremely relevant for everybody in the future and something that all students need to experience from the onset of their education. And, yes, this includes girls. For whatever reason—many of which we’ll get into later—girls seem to lack the same interest boys have in STEM education but we can do something about

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,

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 know that everybody enjoys a good bargain—especially teachers trying to add technology to their classrooms. Our weekend-long sale launched early yesterday morning and is continuing until 11:59 pm ET on Cyber Monday! It even includes all day Saturday and Sunday, too! Let’s take a look at the EdTech products with special savings.

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.

Unfortunately, we can’t take all the credit, but we’d like to think that we play a small role in helping usher teachers into the 21st century. Now that most schools in the country and in the world are focusing a lot more on STEM education, upgrades need to be made to that as well. What’s the saying? Most of what

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,

VR is making its way into the educational sphere, empowering students to explore previously unreachable destinations and interact directly with virtual objects. A few weeks ago, I experimented with the Oculus Rift virtual reality system, and this time I got to try out the HTC Vive—just another perk of working at Eduporium!

Coding is arguably far and away the most important skill that our students need to learn and the structure of today’s economy certainly supports that belief. It’s not that simply the highest-paying jobs require workers to be proficient in coding—it’s even starting to trend towards the entire workforce needing coding skills in some form or another.
