    Recapping the Last Couple Weeks: From Moscow to NYC
    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.

    Keeping up With Career and Technical Education
    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.

    Recapping the World Maker Faire With All You Need to Know
    The one thing that did stick out about this year’s World Maker Faire—aside from the incredible displays of inventive genius—was the unseasonably hot weather. Since many of the coolest exhibits were displayed outside, it was as much of a race to find the coolest new MakerEd tools for schools as it was to find some shade every once in a
