The continually evolving nature of the game design industry keeps creators on their toes and the constantly revolving popularity of game design platforms means that developers need to be comfortable with a wide array of computer applications. Keep reading to learn how Bloxels fits that bill and has asserted itself as a valuable teaching technology.
Students as young as first or second grade are able to experience what it’s like to think like a computer scientist thanks to technology tools that replicate the process in a way that’s introductory and age appropriate. Today, computer science is a necessity and, in schools, its prevalence is finally starting to reflect that.
Last Saturday, we took part in our first ever partner event with the 100 Girls of Code organization and it was fantastically successful! Though we could not be there in person since this chapter is located in Georgia and we’re all just outside of Boston, we were still thrilled to contribute to helping create this dynamic makerspace and learning
The webinar will be hosted by Dennis Kambeitz, who works at a company called Robots.Education. Dennis is a world leader in understanding various impacts that robotics and tech will bring to the workforce and what needs to be done in schools to prepare students for it. Like us at Eduporium, he knows this chance is bigger and coming faster than
Some educators prefer to stay away from screens altogether. With that being the case, how can we make sure students are still getting the 21st century education that they need to succeed? Luckily, early childhood education companies, like Primo Toys, are aware of this issue, and they care very much about making this type of critical education accessible.
Technology is an invaluable catalyst for deeper learning experiences in the early grades, but, by the time students get into their high school years, it is more of a necessity. The new modern workforce is filled with an increasing number of STEM jobs that require applicants to utilize coding, 3D printing, or some other emerging skill. Here are seven options
Collaboration and problem solving are an integral component of the modern-day workforce and, for that reason, have become an increasingly common part of modern education. Those who are able to break problems down and utilize a certain way of thinking to solve them while also incorporating technology are very valuable.
If you want your kids to start coding, you’re not alone. And you have come to the right place! By the time that elementary-aged students enter into the future workforce in 10 or 12 years, coding will be as mandatory as showing up for work. Luckily, we have these new secrets to help children get ahead of the game—the Base
Students are often required to use a computer and work with digital modules to get familiar with coding languages and syntax (i.e. code.org). While this is a great and invaluable tool for teaching coding, there is so much more that kids can do with code—especially when it comes to applying what they know to real-world scenarios!
While teachers and parents may not notice the benefits clearly for another couple of years, using technology to enhance learning for kindergarteners is actually a pretty wise decision. Adding a new wrinkle to early education can help promote inquiry in students, provide opportunities for beneficial collaboration, and help them start to develop both STEM and soft skills.
