In the News & Updates section of our blog, you'll find updates on many of the latest STEM developments. These include happenings from the STEM and MakerEd worlds as well as important Eduporium announcements. This is where we'll share updates on product additions, announce the recipients of our monthly educational technology grant, pass on company news, highlight upcoming events, and discuss a whole lot more when it comes to cool topics in STEM education. Beyond our STEAM coverage, we also touch on various elements of 21st century learning. These include remote instruction, special education, social-emotional learning, and equity and diversity. If it's happening in the world of education, we're interested. And, we'll offer our analysis on what's affecting students, teachers, and administrators, attaching our genuine thoughts to keep you updated.
This is an area for us to keep a repository of recent happenings. Whether it's the release of a new type of technology, any additions to an EdTech product line, the arrival of new brands to our store, or some thoughts on the current state of education, there's a good chance you'll find it here. As time has gone on, we've participated in more STEAM and makerspace events. So, we've started to keep curated collections of those experiences. You can find them all throughout the News & Updates category. As Eduporium continues to expand and we get to participate in more STEM education projects with educators in some of the country's biggest school districts, we'll share those stories, too. We hope our collective accomplishments and partnerships with members of the K–12 community inspire others to innovate in new ways!
Sphero is already incredibly easy to integrate in the classroom and super simple for kids to learn coding. We don’t want the simplicity to stop with students, though, so we added Sphero’s Cheaper By the Dozen and Half Dozen kits on our store for teachers. Now, you can get more organized thanks to the included box (12-pack), charging hubs, covers,
It pays to have a friend with a makerspace and, using this connection, we put on a day of PD for 30 teachers at Pinky Inc. in Marlborough, MA. At the day-long workshop, the teachers worked together and designed some creative classroom activities centered on STEM tools, like Sphero, E-Blox, Cubetto, and more!
As the summer ends, you probably don’t need us to tell you all this but it’s buying time for classroom teachers, STEM professionals, and many school technology directors. To help move this process along and make it as easy and affordable as possible for you, we’ve created a bit of our own EdTech glossary to help you find what you
With Squishy Circuits, students in preschool and the early grades can enjoy a new kind of interactive learning experience. No longer is tech integration something to fear when it comes to young kids. As long as it’s done purposefully and with the right tools, it can provide a wealth of valuable learning opportunities in early education.
Teachers try every day to bring learning alive, but it hasn’t always been as easy to bring content alive. With zSpace’s amazing augmented reality system, however, all you get is interactive, exhilarating experiences. The content literally jumps off the screen, allowing students to hold, move, and manipulate 3D objects.

Cubelets and STEM education just kind of go together. Already awesome at exposing super young students to engineering and programming, the addition of the Cubelets Classroom Packs have added a renewed focus on collaboration! All their kits allow educators to combine coding and engineering in the classroom.
Designed to provide students in second, fourth, and fifth grade with some innovative learning opportunities, teachers were thrilled to use the bundles of new technologies in their classrooms thanks to donations from our team and some of our premier manufacturer partners, including Ozobot, Sphero, Modular Robotics, Microbric, and E-Blox and the results are in!
After six weeks of using various STEM tools in their learning, students will be in the spotlight in less than two weeks, so we thought we’d check in and see how things have been going! Last Friday, we visited six different elementary school classrooms, where students were using different STEM tools—click to see how it went!
Collaboratively conceived by the Eduporium and Highlander teams, this program has allowed students at three Rhode Island elementary schools to use new STEM tools in their classrooms. Those technologies? A lot of them were generously donated to the teachers by our partners from Ozobot, Modular Robotics, Sphero, E-Blox, and Microbric.
