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.
Although DJI recently discontinued the Tello EDU and RoboMaster drones, educational drones offer a solid path to teaching programming and piloting skills in your classroom. We spent time with our new addition, the CoDrone EDU, learning to fly and program. Compatible with Blockly and Python, the CoDrone EDU is a top coding companion for kids in a range of grades.
Earth Day is the perfect holiday to apply the concepts of STEAM education and project-based learning. After all, the central goal of each opportunity is for your students to apply creative and innovative thinking while working to solve real-world community problems. Plus, Earth Day classroom activities can help all educators highlight the critical importance of going green.
Providing our teachers support involves different approaches for different situations. As teachers face novel challenges from in-person learning, new technologies, and more, it is essential to give them the tangible help they need to thrive. Self-care, social-emotional strategies, collaboration, and material resources can all help to alleviate teacher burnout.
Like the original databot Robot, the databot 2.0 is square in shape but it is not a perfect cube unlike that original model. The newer databot is shorter in height, making it a much more compact robotics tool. More importantly, it’s also outfitted with 16 powerful on-board sensors that students can use to measure anything from light levels to air
As drones continue to serve as notably valuable tools within our economy, creating educational experiences around their uses, applications, and new capabilities have proven to be valuable for students. Perhaps the best part is how drone education fits under many different umbrellas and educators can use the Discover Drones solutions and curricula in STEM and CTE.
Recent issues with student attention have inspired teachers to incorporate more audiovisual elements, like podcasts and videos, into the classroom. Research shows that interacting with videos in class improves students’ engagement and retention of STEM content, as well as increasing class satisfaction. Look inside for tips on using video elements in the classroom.
As educators in the 21st century, today’s school leaders are always looking for some help and we realize that. We try to provide teachers with as much support as possible throughout each phase of this EdTech acquisition. We are not the only ones, however, in the business of trying to make that tech acquisition and deployment process easier for educators
The Cubetto is a wooden robot that educators can use to introduce kids to coding at as early as three years old. Perfect for any students in preschool, Pre-K, or kindergarten, it features a 4-part system that’ll help to ease them into learning coding concepts and creative thinking skills. Plus, with these Cubetto bundles, it’s easier to integrate STEM across
