At a somewhat surprising rate, teachers are ditching traditional computer labs and rediscovering innovation with new hubs known as 3D printer labs. In these labs, kids get the added STEM experience and the school spends more money. Not so fast. Today, we’ve got five top-of-the-line and, more importantly, affordable 3D printers you should try out this school year.

The MakerBot team helps make inventors out of almost anyone and we’ve brought their brilliance back to our store just in time for the newest school year! Teachers can now get the 3D printer they really want as well as all the filaments their students could possibly need all in one place. We’re helping bring 3D printing into your school

Edison is the perfect teaching tool for STEM activities since it’s so incredibly versatile. A while ago—about a year now at this point—we were introduced to the Edison Robot and did a nice little write-up on it in what you now know as the Eduporium Experiment. Now, it’s revamped, however, and we’ve got some new stuff to cover, so here

Wouldn’t it be nice if students got everything they needed to know perfect every single time? Things would run so much more smoothly and everyone would be happier. Right? Wrong. Yes, failure is an absolutely critical part of student learning especially in many of today’s hands-on, STEM-focused atmosphere and making mistakes helps students grow.

The Eduporium team recently cemented this beneficial partnership with the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit. Out of Norristown, Pa., the MCIU is one of 29 intermediate units in their state that provides support to all of the local schools and districts. They create dynamic programs and services for teachers and students, including workshops, academies, and more.

Circuitry kits like this one are a great way to introduce elementary students to one of the most important STEAM concepts. And, this one in particular is especially versatile because it combines so many specific STEM disciplines in one dynamic tool. There are three different versions with 59, 115, and 120 projects.

Whether it’s because of a lack of good resources, lack of funds, or lack of knowing how easy it is to get started, many school and district leaders do not provide their students with CS education opportunities. Luckily, coding is becoming easier to learn, which also means it’s become easier to teach. While they may seem unlikely, here are some

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.

Coding is going to be the literacy of the 21st century as more and more of the most lucrative careers require entry-level employees to have some form of mastery. Wouldn’t it be great if there was an EdTech product that leveraged the fun parts of STEM education, like making, design, and invention, while kids learned how to code?
