David is largely responsible for creating valuable afterschool STEM opportunities for students. Through the Maker Mentor Program, in particular, he’s helped connect students with makers in their community. Read on to learn more about him, including his plans for teaching with drones and 3D printers as well as what he’ll receive from us.
With such a powerful line of printers, some may think the LulzBot solutions would be expensive, but they’re really not, especially compared to some of the other 3D printers that educators use at both the K-12 and college level. Coming in at $1,500 before the application of our Educator Discount, their all-new Mini 2 offers a ton of value for
One of the best things about school makerspaces is that so many different events can foster productive learning experiences. Since maker learning is so closely connected to 21st century development, MakerEd activities and exploration remain popular with both students and teachers. So, if you are looking to start a makerspace in your school, what are key things to know?
For homeschooling parents, EdTech may seem out of reach. Whether it’s too expensive or too complex, some of the most popular EdTech isn’t suited for homeschoolers. However, we’ve compiled a list of the best EdTech tools that work perfectly in a home classroom. These solutions are affordable and approachable, with curriculum that parents can easily integrate.
Fostering environmental awareness in children could take many forms. We have identified some EdTech tools that truly help kids approach ecological learning from different perspectives. They can capture data from the world with robots, take their coding outside, use sustainable tools, and complete hands-on projects on renewable energy while expanding their eco literacy!
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
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.
The EdTech purchasing process should be enjoyable, informative, stress-free, and as affordable as possible. Our team specializes in helping make all of these things happen by offering a one-stop online STEM store, free consultation, and a hassle-free quoting process to make your purchases as smooth as we can by helping educators identify key focal points.
The term artificial intelligence typically refers to the computer systems that are capable of efficiently completing tasks that should normally require the use of human intelligence. As educational leaders continue exploring some of the various avenues—popular or not—of bringing it into classrooms, the hope is that it extends educator efficiency and helps student achievement.
STEM learning experiences can be truly powerful and can help shape how children develop their 21st century skills. And, now, EdTech manufacturers regularly supplement their products with full curriculum resources that may include the lesson plans, activities, and more. Designed so all teachers can lead lessons more effectively, STEM curricula can really enhance learning.
