The GoPiGo is a very versatile option for integrating both engineering and programming into STEM instruction. As is common in K-12 education, robotics is a popular way of furthering STEM experiences and the GoPiGo is a great example of how that is done. Once they get it built and set up, students can also program it in Python or the

Since the release of their original Kano Computer kit, the Kano team has released more, including a touchscreen version, pixel kit, motion sensor kit, and—perhaps the most exciting one of them all—the Harry Potter Coding Wand, which happens to be the subject of this week’s Eduporium Experiment!

We’ve added six new tools from Makeblock to our store and they are ready to help educators enhance their STEM teaching. Among these new options are a couple of add-on packs for students to invent and code with the tried and true mBot-S and mBot Ranger in different ways, a remote control for a new way of controlling the robots,

These days, flying drones involves more than just controlling its height and movements with a remote control. Some more advanced drones can be programmed to complete short flights, snap photos, and show students how coding and drone navigation are related. Head inside to learn about some of the best.

These electronic LEGOs snap together and teach kids basic concepts, like magnetism, circuitry, inputs, outputs, and engineering while they play! With a model based on progression, students can start learning with littleBits as early as first grade and create a foundation for eventually inventing devices that they can use in feats of engineering and even control with code!

Mastering a STEM-related craft and earning that degree is one of the best ways to ensure future success, but what are the best college majors for those who want a lifetime of STEM challenges? Is it engineering or computer science? Or, might there be some other options to consider. We’ll take a look at some of the best options.

The workforce that we have now will likely undergo a lot of changes and so many new jobs will be created, replacing a lot of the ones that have always been more traditional. While we can’t predict exactly what this means, a lot of evidence points to tech skills being at the top of the list among everyone who wants

With solar devices, we have the ability to harness the Sun’s massive amounts of energy and transform it into fuel for other devices—like some of the small-scale models students can build with the Solar Mechanics Kit from Thames & Kosmos! Keep reading to learn more about this kit, its parts, and why it’s great for introducing students to alternative energy.

There are two books kids can follow—one with instructions for building the computer and another that details all of the ways kids can then code with it. Well, now Kano has a few new models (as well as classroom packs), but for this edition of the Eduporium Experiment, we’re taking a look at the Kano Touch Kit and how kids

For this week’s Eduporium Experiment, we opened up our Buildings & Bridges kit, which is part of Engino’s STEM STRUCTURES series. It’s a great way for students aged between 8-16 to not only build some pretty cool structures, but also learn the science behind engineering and the physics needed to ensure its safe and sound.
