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.
After careful consideration, we believed the most deserving applicant from this past month is Victoria Blackmer from the Robert R. Jones Public Library in Coal Valley, Ill. Victoria is a librarian at this library in Coal Valley, which is almost on the border of Iowa, and she has also begun to work closely with the nearby Bicentennial Elementary School.
Engineering is a key part of 21st century education, so introduce your students to wheels, axles, and inclined planes with the K’NEX Simple Machines Kit! Recommended for students aged eight and up and as part of a 1:3 kit-to-student ratio, this kit serves as a great hands-on introduction to engineering and creative thinking.
We are committed to using this platform to truly help educators better their approaches to teaching along with establishing new, dynamic professional connections more regularly. In any case, the following sections should give you a glimpse into what were among those five most popular topics based on impressions to appear on our Twitter feed in the last week.
Creative kids now have a line of all-new littleBits kits they can work with for all STEM projects. Designed to facilitate active invention and increase their engagement, these newer kits enable children to construct a bunch of cool contraptions! The Base Inventor Kit, Electronic Music Inventor Kit, and also the Space Rover Kit plus the littleBits app are perfect for
From now through Oct. 31, anybody who makes a purchase of $1,000 or more from our store and uses the coupon code 3DOODLER at checkout will receive a FREE 3Doodler Create 3D printing Pen. This is a great opportunity to increase MakerEd possibilities and expand educational innovation for all students involved!
Their printers provide some of the highest performance and include plenty of comprehensive classroom content to help both teachers and students get started and stick with the innovative opportunities 3D printing has to offer. Keep reading to learn how to integrate Robo 3D’s printers into a classroom or makerspace environment and even at home.
It can be tough knowing what to do with a 3D printer in the classroom. With MyStemKits, however, it doesn’t have to be. This subscription includes grade-specific lesson plans, one-of-a-kind models, and STEM learning that’s truly interdisciplinary. Here’s how teachers can create curriculum that’s problem-based, standards-driven, and future-facing!
This week in the Eduporium Experiment, we’re delving into the popular engineering packs from PCS Edventures known as BrickLAB. Upon first glance, the components closely resemble LEGO bricks, but after doing some research and exploring, I found out that, while they may look like LEGOs, there is much more academic potential for BrickLAB.
We say this all the time but a makerspace could be anything you want it to be. Seriously, there is no right or wrong way to design a makerspace. They now often pop up in classrooms, libraries, community centers, basements, closets, or wherever there’s room. The important thing is that students can work with their hands and create something meaningful.
