As time goes by, virtual reality is becoming more than an insanely cool way to play video games or watch movies. It’s helping train STEM professionals and prepare people for the workforce and some of the common uses that could soon be a regular part of virtual reality. It’s also an effective instructional tool across K-12.

The Thames & Kosmos Hydropower Kit gives educators the potential to transform their classrooms into experimental labs and give their students the chance to investigate, innovate, and excel. Students can use versatile components to construct anything from a hydroelectric power station to an LED with flowing electricity.

If there are two students in the classroom and one is following along, trying to stay awake while a classmate recites a passage from their textbook and the other one is living the concepts the first one is reading about, which do you think is more fully engaged? No, this isn’t a trick question. The answer is Student 2 and

We know how challenging it can be to find classroom-friendly tech devices for today’s STEAM-first educators. By partnering with the EF’s that provide technology for teachers, schools, and students, we’ve helped eliminate the EdTech research process and help ensure that students are left using only the best and most affordable technology as they prep for the real world!

Here’s your chance to do just that. We’re having a FLASH SALE with huge PRICE REDUCTIONS on some of our absolute BEST STEM learning tools. With unbelievable prices on innovative products for robotics, 3D printing, design, and coding, can you (or your students) really afford to miss out? The Dash and Dot kits, Ozobot kits, and more are part of

We’ve come a long way from the days of the first robot toys for kids, and now we are able to use incredible technology to simulate behaviors very close to the ones displayed by our actual furry friends. You may have guessed—based on that introduction—that we have recently come across an EdTech tool that fulfills this fantasy.

Virtual reality is coming. And, it’s coming quicker than most of us realize. Even in education, virtual reality is finding its way into the classroom and offering students the chance to explore learning with a technology that’s unlike anything else. With its immersive capabilities and incredibly vivid graphics, VR is poised to disrupt education.

With BoXZY’s compact, durable, and three-in-one machines, you can get your 3D printer, CNC mill, and laser engraver in one affordable apparatus! There are three new options we’ve added onto our store—with each even more eye-catching than the last, including the BoXZY Make, BoXZY Carve, and BoXZY Complete—all of which are powerful and easy to integrate.

Students as young as first or second grade are able to experience what it’s like to think like a computer scientist thanks to technology tools that replicate the process in a way that’s introductory and age appropriate. Today, computer science is a necessity and, in schools, its prevalence is finally starting to reflect that.

Last Saturday, we took part in our first ever partner event with the 100 Girls of Code organization and it was fantastically successful! Though we could not be there in person since this chapter is located in Georgia and we’re all just outside of Boston, we were still thrilled to contribute to helping create this dynamic makerspace and learning
