The mBot-S is one elementary robotics tool that’s perfect for students who want to build a robot before coding. For any educators throughout the K–8 grades, it’s a great tool for incorporating STEAM experiences into activities that highlight creative development as kids enjoy valuable experience with engineering and collaborating while building a real robot from scratch.
There are three main environments students could use in programming the Edison Robot. They’re known as EdBlocks, EdScratch, and EdPy and all of them are completely free to use directly from your browser. And, there’s no need to download any additional software for coding with the Edison. Kids can also choose from the pre-created programs or design their own!
With the 3Doodler Start 3D printing pen, children can experience hands-on design and creation starting in the early grades. Instead of kids choosing a 3D design and watching a 3D printer complete it, however, they get to print their very own 3D objects by hand. Plus, it is completely safe and its tactile frame makes it easy for young students
The Glowforge 3D laser printers are some of the most capable high school STEM solutions we offer. Using these machines, kids easily create tangible designs from tons of different materials and each one helps CTE educators unlock truly future-focused instruction in makerspaces or classrooms. And, they’re quicker than 3D printers with lasers that cut and engrave rapidly.
The Mayku FormBox is a largely ready-to-use STEM solution with (almost) everything that students need to start manufacturing their own molds. The pack comes with the FormBox, Mayku Cast sheets, Mayku Form sheets, a power cord, a first making kit, a suction tube, and even a universal vacuum connector. They just need a vacuum tube and we have all the
The EdCreate Expansion Kit for enhancing Edison Robot STEAM projects helps students focus on construction with its 115 building parts, including blocks, gears, wheels, pegs, and more that are each compatible with both the Edison and LEGOs. The kit also includes classroom project guides and instructional videos that show students how to construct the five EdBuilds.
The Root coding robot is one of the most versatile classroom robots in K–12 education. With three progressing programming levels and whiteboard climbing capabilities, it provides so much authentic value for both STEAM teachers and students—even helping introduce pre-readers to coding with its multitude of fun sensors and other programmable features.
The Cue Robot is similar to Wonder Workshop’s Dash Robot in its shape and functionality, but there certainly are some key differences between the two. Most notably, the Cue is well-suited for teaching teenaged students since it’s a bit more complex. It also has more memory, a better processor, more advanced sensors, and a text-based JavaScript coding environment.
The Root Robot from iRobot Education is among the most versatile educational robotics tools. With three levels of coding and something for everyone from pre-readers to veteran programmers in its iRobot Coding platform, educators can leverage impactful STEM projects, incorporate new coding concepts, and help students with their CS development.
The Strawbees STEAM kits provide students with a complete solution for hands-on design, engineering, and programming. Each kit is comprised of reusable and recyclable straws and connectors that fit together so kids can build structures and robotic mechanisms. Teachers can also access lesson plans, activities, and more on the Strawbees Classroom platform!
