We’re big fans of STEAM education. Like, really big fans. If you’re not familiar with what the A in STEAM stands for, or even the other four letters for that matter, STEM represents science, tech, engineering, and math with the A added in to represent art and create a more well-rounded 21st century education with opportunities for expression.

We’re here to let you know that you are in luck. We’ve just launched our in-depth, special 3D printer page on our site and thought you’d love to be the first to know! We’ve searched the world for the best 3D printers for schools with the lowest prices and best functionality. Each new model that we offer is purposefully selected

We had a crowd that was larger than expected at Café Escadrille in Burlington, MA and tons of immersive learning in the form of presentations and virtual exploration. Attendees included educators and industry enthusiasts made up of VR experts and novices who all shared the same passion for exploring this technology.

Green technology is a great teaching tool, because, in every classroom, no matter its size, economic standing, or location, there’s access to at least one renewable resource. In this week’s Eduporium Experiment, I took a look at Snap Circuits Green, a part of Snap Circuits’ successful line of STEM education tools focused on illustrating alternative energy.

The innovation in contemporary education is increasing every day. Schools are using more advanced technologies, like 3D printing, laser cutting tools, and maybe even drones to help impart those necessary skills for the future on their students. Among these key 21st century skills is entrepreneurship since the current gig economy is filled with new opportunities all the time.

Many kids these days are happy holding a smartphone in their hands and using their thumbs to navigate a number of screens while opening dozens of apps they may or may not even understand. It’s also become clear that kids love technology. Here are some of the best ways to combine child-friendly play with beneficial technology to get kids excited.

For this week’s Eduporium Experiment, I focused on the Samsung Gear VR, one of the best options if you are looking for an easily integrated, smartphone-powered VR experience. The Samsung Gear VR is a portable VR headset that works with Samsung smartphones and Oculus technology.

Come learn about this rapidly emerging field of technology and the impact it will have on modern education. You’ll have the chance to try out the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, and more, network with some of the top industry leaders, and hear from Caitlin Krause, an expert speaker, on the impact of immersive education in today’s classrooms.

In the past, we could rarely use our digital devices in the classroom. It was commonly believed that they distract students and also disturb a teacher’s work. Now more and more high school and university teachers allow using smartphones in class thus making the process of gaining new knowledge more interesting. How can we use smartphones during class or lectures?

If you follow us closely, you know March was a super busy month for us. Well, we’re happy to say that April looks to be just about full as well! We regularly get questions about where people can find us, so we thought we’d give you a few options for this month and publicize some of the cool upcoming events
