We are committed to using this platform to truly help teachers better their approaches to educating as well as establishing new connections on a regular basis. In any case, the following sections will give you a glimpse into what were the five most popular topics based on impressions to appear on our Twitter feed in the last week.
Creative kids now have a line of new littleBits kits they can work with. Designed to facilitate active invention and increased engagement, these new kits enable the construction of a bunch of new projects! The Base Inventor Kit, Electronic Music Inventor Kit, and Space Rover Inventor Kit plus the littleBits app are perfect for inspiring real-world inventors.
From now through Oct. 31, anybody who makes a purchase of $1,000 or more from our store and uses the coupon code 3DOODLER at checkout will receive a FREE 3Doodler Create 3D printing Pen. This is a great opportunity to increase MakerEd possibilities and expand educational innovation for all students involved!
Their printers provide some of the highest performance and include plenty of comprehensive classroom content to help both teachers and students get started and stick with the innovative opportunities 3D printing has to offer. Keep reading to learn how to integrate Robo 3D’s printers into a classroom or makerspace environment and even at home.
It can be tough knowing what to do with a 3D printer in the classroom. With MyStemKits, however, it doesn’t have to be. This subscription includes grade-specific lesson plans, one-of-a-kind models, and STEM learning that’s truly interdisciplinary. Here’s how teachers can create curriculum that’s problem-based, standards-driven, and future-facing!
This week in the Eduporium Experiment, we’re delving into the popular engineering packs from PCS Edventures known as BrickLAB. Upon first glance, the components closely resemble LEGO bricks, but after doing some research and exploring, I found out that, while they may look like LEGOs, there is much more academic potential for BrickLAB.
We say this all the time but a makerspace could be anything you want it to be. Seriously, there is no right or wrong way to design a makerspace. They now often pop up in classrooms, libraries, community centers, basements, closets, or wherever there’s room. The important thing is that students can work with their hands and create something meaningful.
When you think about it, the activities students can take part in using LEGOs are very much in line with current educational standards—especially those that deal with STEM. Now, there’s a new option for teaching engineering in early education. The kits from BrickLAB are packed with legitimate opportunities and now available on our store!
With such a powerful printer available, some might think that LulzBot would be expensive, but it’s really not, especially compared to some other 3D printers that educators use at both the K-12 and college level. Coming in at $1,500 before the application of our Educator Discount, the Mini 2 offers a ton of value for its pretty low price point!
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.’
