STEM Education

We’re introducing another new blog series for educators! Each week, we will take a look at an online STEM resource teachers can use to better their instruction with hands-on opportunities. In the first edition of Rising Resources, we’re exploring Robot App Store, a resource designed to help teachers learn more about robotics in a number of ways!

Charter schools are becoming very popular alternatives among parents across the country. Once thought of as a sure thing, now parents often struggle to get their children enrolled due to the high popularity they’ve generated.

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!

Even with the addition of STEM tools and more active learning, these students oftentimes fail to feel fulfilled. With career and technical education, however, they’re able to increase this active learnxing even more and gain skills in areas that can truly help them. CTE, while it may not be for everyone, certainly is for some students.

The economy is filled with vacant STEM jobs that not enough people are qualified to fill. For whatever reason, there are not enough college students pursuing STEM majors, like coding, robotics, engineering, and more. Could it be something as simple as not realizing that the STEM economy is where the jobs are?

There’s robotics kits designed for classroom use and then there are the ROBOTIS robotics kits, which are designed for serious learning. What makes them different? Well, they’re not just for breaking the ice and introducing robotics to students while they’re young. Many of the ROBOTIS kits are designed specifically for high school students.

We know that there might be a lot of teachers who feel their students are experienced with SPRK+ and want the next best thing. Well, the Ollie robot can flip, spin, and perform combinations of tricks to keep all students engaged! Programmable and drivable just like the SPRK+, Ollie can help student take their robotics skills to the next level.

Everything educators do for their students should, in some way, be able to help them succeed in the future. This includes all of the lesson plans they create, the tools they bring into their classrooms, and even the attitudes they show, themselves. It will take a lot for students to fully prepare for a world we’re not too sure of,
