The Forward Education Climate Action Kit comes with everything a teacher needs to introduce green energy and environmental science concepts to students. Powered by the micro:bit, students will model sustainable energy solutions with robotic parts and building blocks in this kit appropriate for K-12 students. Kids will learn to invest in our eco-friendly future!

Older kids (14+) can use the 3Doodler Flow to craft projects for any class using teacher-created lesson plans. The Flow pen comes with a few great upgrades from the Start and Create, including a digital temperature display and spooled filament. These changes make the new Flow pen even more efficient when creating STEM projects such as a 3D model of

At Eduporium, we take pride in being one of few technology companies to have a Black CEO. So, to kick off Black History Month, we are highlighting some of the most crucial accomplishments that Black STEM leaders have made throughout history. These innovators have shaped our technologies to this day and continue to inspire students to follow their dreams.

Many robotics tools also have virtual options, which help allow students to continue learning and programming while they’re at home or perhaps after school. In fact, many of those platforms often help improve accessibility of technology by removing the need for a physical robot, increasing equity in multiple ways. So, read on for our recommendations for virtual CS tools.

Did you know students’ physical activity levels have fallen by 40% in the past 5 years? Whether you attribute this change to social media, lack of third spaces for kids to gather, safety reasons, or something else, it’s definitely a concern. So why not integrate activity into other learning? The next installment in our spring webinar series shows you how

As educators, how can we teach students to engage with challenges like climate change and environmental health? Our spring webinar series tackled these questions with one of our favorite environmental education tools: databot 2.0. In our model of Ecological Education, EdTech tools like databot are key to facilitating students’ appreciation of the environment.

Our model of Ecological Education, or EcoEd, uses principles from Nature to inform all learning. In this white paper, we explain the need for a shift to project-based learning and the formation of an “Ecological Mindset.” EcoEd can equip students with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to create a sustainable future.

Physical activity shouldn’t be limited to recess and gym class. After sitting in the classroom for hours each day, students want to get up, run around, and get their wiggles out. And teachers want a break from the everyday routine. Enter Unruly Splats. These programmable floor buttons have applications in math, ELL, special education, P.E., art and music classes, and

We’ve put together this in-depth list of some top STEAM solutions for 2024 summer camps whether you are teaching coding, flying drones, or perhaps practicing engineering. These proven tech tools are perfect for helping kids continue developing their STEM skills even outside of the classroom. Plus, you can even get a free consultation with us to start planning your camp.

What obstacles might students face in STEM education? For students with physical and mental disabilities, not every school is an inclusive place. But Strawbees and BirdBrain joined forces to remedy this. In this lesson, kids use Strawbees tools and Hummingbird Bit to design accessible playground equipment—making inclusivity a priority while practicing STEM skills.
