To us, being partners means that we’ll always help educators learn what’s best for their students and develop a plan to achieve those goals—not try to sell them the most expensive tools out there. See how we can partner with your school, library, or makerspace to help empower your students with technology they can use to build key skills.

We have discovered more STEM products in the EZ-Robot line and have added all of them to our store. The EZ-Robot team really has thought of everything—well, just about everything. Joining the original models are a Battle Flipper, Galapagos Bot, and the subject of this week’s Eduporium Experiment—the EZ-Robot Adventure Bot.

Robotics kits are incredibly valuable for teaching students the skills they really need to know. They’re useful for shaping real problem solving skills, creativity, and, most importantly, coding. The best part? Students can use robotics tools in any grade—starting in Pre-K with super simple models and continuing through high school with the more complex tools.

Ah, the myth of having summers off. Those outside the teaching profession tend to become filled with jealousy every year about this time because they’re stuck at work and teachers are stuck…doing absolutely nothing. Or so that’s what they think. The fact is that, especially today, teachers cannot afford to take summers completely off.

Their top-notch designs, user-friendly integration, and expanding variety of STEM-based projects ensures that every student will remain engaged and learning while interactively doing something they enjoy! With these STEM kits from Fischertechnik, students get to follow the blueprints, design new devices, and build everyday tools, like hair dryers and windshield wipers!

Connectable toys, like LEGOS, can serve as building blocks for a lot more than engineering household castles and transformable structures. With its very legitimate place in STEM education, E-Blox has gone on to create the next generation of LEGO-based learning and are on track to disrupt STEM education with a line of tech kits that get kids working with their

Thames & Kosmos is known—at least throughout our office—as a company that perfectly combines technology, construction, and just about every STEM discipline. They have a number of hands-on kits that help kids learn the basics of solar energy, coding, atoms, and a ton more. This week, we dove into their Robotics Smart Machines Kit.

Coding is an extremely large topic in modern education and has enormous implications on the futures of today’s students. As the flood of coding toys, tools, and websites out there continue to expand, we chatted with Weston Hagan, Director at Let’s Start Coding, about connecting coding with more of today’s existing academic standards when building a new product.

It can be overwhelming when trying to find a technologies that are affordable, have longevity, and an easy learning curve. It’s not even that there are not enough like this out there. It’s that there are now too many. We’ve got you covered with five affordable EdTech tools to take into your classroom to start the new school year.
