STEAM

We’re very excited to share their stories and their work with you and hope it will give more educators encouragement to try something new in the classroom. This month, we spoke to Meghan Kestner, an Education Specialist from California, who isn’t afraid to try new tools in her classroom! Keep reading to learn more about her!

The awardee for the month of February is Laura Luker, a librarian from the Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion Charter School in Hadley, MA! Laura works with students of different ages starting in elementary school and all the way up through high school and some of these students are challenged with some pretty cool projects each year.

These electronic LEGOs snap together and teach kids key concepts, like magnetism, circuitry, inputs, outputs, and engineering while they play! With a model based on progression, students can start learning with littleBits as early as first grade and create a foundation for eventually inventing devices they can control with code!

Mastering a STEM-related craft and earning that degree is one of the best ways to ensure future success, but what are the best college majors for those who want a lifetime of STEM challenges? Is it engineering or computer science? Or, might there be some other options to consider. We’ll take a look at some of the best options.

We’re just a few days away from one of our most exciting EdTech events of the year! For the first time, we’ll be attending and exhibiting at the FETC in Orlando starting this Monday. The Eduporium team will be at Booth 1451 on both Monday and Tuesday with plenty of EdTech tools for attendees to learn about and try, including

For this last educator, however, we sent a little something before the start of the new year. Leigh Kuhn is a school librarian at Bondurant Middle School in Frankfort, Ky. and she caught our eye with her ‘STEM to STREAM’ initiative, so we made sure to get her something she can use in the new year!

We told you about the first beneficiary of some Holiday cheer we helped spread at the tail end of 2018 and now we’re going to talk about another one! At the end of December, we sent Holiday gifts to five educators who had previously applied for our EdTech grant but were not selected due to the number of applications and

We have another new educator interview to share with you! This month’s featured educator is Jen Leban, a middle school technology teacher from Illinois who has made use of a number of various technologies to help give her students a meaningful and long-lasting education! Keep reading to learn more about her efforts in STEAM education.

The C++ programming language can be learned by anyone with some computer science experience. On the basic side, students can learn things like loops, arrays, strings, functions, and variables, while the more advanced programming with C++ includes the capability to control pointers, structures, dynamic allocation, binary trees, and more.

For this week’s Eduporium Experiment, we opened up our Buildings & Bridges kit, which is part of Engino’s STEM STRUCTURES series. It’s a great way for students aged between 8-16 to not only build some pretty cool structures, but also learn the science behind engineering and the physics needed to ensure its safe and sound.
