We have been serving K-12 schools, libraries, colleges, and makerspaces for about six years now. Our team of innovators has created a one-stop online store for teachers to research and purchase the STEM and MakerEd technologies that will work best in their classrooms. By providing almost any EdTech tool a teacher might need in one place, we have come to think of ourselves as the ‘Amazon of EdTech.’
Over the years, we have worked with many different educators from around the country and created a signature service made possible by the large number of different products on our store. Dubbed ‘Tech Bundle Customization,’ we created this service to ensure that the educators we work with get exactly what they need for their classrooms—and, more importantly, don’t get stuck with something they would never want to use.
This service allows teachers to mix and match the tech products they purchase from us without complicating their orders or adding any extra costs. Recently, we just added another bundle option to our offerings—one that is designed to combat the struggles teachers and administrators face when purchasing technology from various companies as part of one order or for one project. Our brand-new Makerspace Bundle not only includes some of the latest tools for STEM education, but also comes with expert Eduporium support, guidance, and assistance from one consistent contact.
Since we take so much pride in being a value-added reseller rather than simply looking to make money off of teachers, we have also included free consultation sessions as part of this bundle. Our team is going to be working directly with educators, librarians, and makerspace leaders to ensure the bundle is customized to their exact needs and also create or provide starter activities so educators have a purposeful way of using each piece of technology as soon as they open the box.
We have created many different tech bundles in the past, organizing them by grade level or by STEM theme to provide teachers with a structured introduction to the technology. This new Makerspace Bundle is grouped by theme with products to support students in all K-12 grade levels and those with all different levels of tech proficiency.
The Makerspace Bundle is broken down into three smaller bundles: Robotics and Coding, Electronics and Circuitry, and Engineering and Design with each sub-section offering something that can be used by students in any grade level between Pre-K and their senior year of high school. The Robotics and Coding portion of the bundle includes a Sphero Cheaper by the Dozen Kit, a Cubelets Creative Constructors Pack, an Ozobot Evo Classroom Kit, a Cubetto Classroom Bundle, a Dash and Dot Classroom Pack, and five EdSTEM Home Packs.
The Electronics and Circuitry portion of the bundle includes a littleBits Pro Library, a littleBits Pro Library Wall Storage unit, a Makey Makey STEM Pack, a Squishy Circuits Group Kit, two Squishy Circuits Dough Kits, a micro:bit Club Pack, 10 DF Robot Beginner Arduino Kits, and 10 Raspberry Pi Model B Complete Kits.
Finally, the Engineering and Design portion of the bundle includes a MakerBot Replicator+ 3D Printing Essentials Pack, a Bloxels Classroom 10-pack, a Padcaster Studio Kit, Google Expeditions VR Classroom Kit for 10 students, a MakeDo Classroom Pack, a 3Doodler EDU Start Learning Pack, and a 3Doodler Create+ EDU Learning Pack, which help students experience 3D design with a 3D printing pen. All of the tech products listed can be purchased separately from our store as well.
All told, the final cost of the bundle—after applying our Educator Discount—is just under $25,000. Educators who purchase the bundle receive a huge range of STEM tools and optional starter activities as well as hands-on guidance and our expert support.
We chose to group these particular tools together because of their popularity among educators and their consistent ability to provide engaging and hassle-free learning. We also made sure to include plenty of classroom packs (kits that serve an entire class of students and often include supporting materials, like student and teacher guides) in the bundle so teachers would have an easier time supporting multiple student groups regardless of whether they’re in a classroom, library, or makerspace.
Any educator who would like to purchase a Makerspace Bundle can get in contact with us by calling 1 (877) 252-0001, emailing our team, or visiting our website.
