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.

If there is one goal of contemporary education it’s to prepare students for the real world. They will enter a world that’s hands-on, in need of problem solvers, and rewarding to those who develop creative solutions. It’s not as kind to those who only possess book smarts. It’s a challenge, but teachers help when they facilitate learning that mirrors the

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

The way we look at it is that we can’t help educators increase innovation with technology if we don’t build partnerships with a variety of educational organizations. The obvious approach would be to go out and sell ourselves to as many schools as possible. We’ve realized, however, that there are many, many more ways to help children build the skills

You’ve probably already seen their conductive paint, conductive paint pen, and glowing house set. Well, now they have some new additions and we’re ready to share them with everyone! And, the best part is that you don’t even have to be a seasoned programmer to be able to build interactive projects that will amaze all who experience them!

If you’re thinking about going 1:1 in your school or district, there are a lot of things to consider. The first among them is the goals you hope to achieve with this initiative and then you’ll probably get into considering which computers to use. A 1:1 program offers students a nice advantage for accessing information, but there’s more to consider,

With part of our founding team hailing from Russia, we jumped at the opportunity to present at the two-day conference and introduce some new technologies to our friends across the ocean. After that, some of us made the somewhat shorter trip to the Bronx, NY to host ‘The State of EdTech in 2017’ in collaboration with Manhattan College.

Since more school systems are transitioning toward offering some kind of CTE program for students in high school grades, it’s becoming even more important they do this the right way. In many places, career and technical education (CTE) is taking off in colleges and universities, but also coming into play even earlier than that by necessity.

The simple software, active engineering, and long-lasting learning kids crave and teachers approve of comes with the GoPiGo robot kits from Dexter Industries. Whether in the classroom, makerspace, or an afterschool robotics club, these are the kinds of products that promote innovative, hands-on learning. What’s to love about the GoPiGo robots?
