The Marty V2 is ideal for students in Grades K-8 since they can easily build their bots themselves. This helps teachers incorporate in-class engineering experiences as well as enabling children to better connect their heads and hands throughout that building process. Once it is built, students can then explore opportunities for different types of coding with this compact robot.

With the Google Expeditions VR app discontinuing back in 2021, students and teachers were searching for any suitable replacements. With it already serving as one of the best options in terms of hardware, the RobotLAB VR Expeditions 2.0 kits also provide amazing educational experiences in K–12 classrooms with software that’s immersive, vivid, and easy to use.

Since it’s a Scratch-compatible robot, the Marty V2 is super accessible for students with different CS experience levels. Scratch is a graphical coding language, which means your students don’t necessarily need to have prior experience with coding to program their Marty. Then, there’s its Scratch Jr. and Python compatibility—making the Marty V2 viable in all K-8 grades.

From kindergarten through high school, coding helps all students develop real-world hard and soft skills—even if they are not planning on pursuing a computer science career. Plus, getting started isn’t intimidating either and, in fact, introducing programming often involves some extremely simple CS tools in kindergarten before working in those with more STEM possibilities.

Python is an open language that’s perfect for both first-time programmers and students who have experience, empowering them to broaden their CS knowledge and abilities. It’s completely text-based and often described as a general-purpose language that’s used primarily in web development, app generation, scientific computing, and in creating graphical interfaces.

The Cue Robot is similar to the Wonder Workshop Dash Robot in its shape and functionality, but there certainly are some key differences between the two. Most notably, the Cue is better suited for teaching teenaged students since it’s a bit more complex. It also has more memory, a better processor, more advanced sensors, and a text-based JavaScript coding environment.

Renee is an education technology specialist with the Atlanta Public School System and she’s seen firsthand how shifting from traditional instruction to more detailed strategies often truly impact how students learn. To that end, one of the biggest areas that she and her colleagues have placed focus on is personalized learning in education. Read on to learn how she’s done

Whether it’s robotics, circuitry, engineering, or something else, there are obviously a myriad of STEM solutions available to today’s K-12 teachers. With all these options, they often look for something to differentiate them and, regularly, that’s the curricular component. With the NAO V6, Dash Robot, Finch 2.0, and more, they can get those key guides included.

From the Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot robots for early education coding to the incredibly effective and immersive RobotLAB VR Expeditions 2.0 kits, some of the newest STEM products on our store pack a big punch in the classroom. Head inside to learn more about these five new additions and how they can help enhance hands-on instruction.

One of the more highly anticipated educational technology releases within recent years, the Finch Robot 2.0 is now shipping! Much more robust and versatile than the original Finch Robot from BirdBrain Tech, this new Finch 2.0 is a viable coding and robotics solution for students across every K-12 grade and allows students of different ability levels to try coding in
