Resources and tool to help educators provide hands-on projects in classrooms and makerspaces

Engage your students’ creativity and curiosity

We help educators understand technology so they can help students

Schools pay attention to Science and Math standards but have a harder time giving educators guidance on how to teach Technology and Engineering. Knowledge in these two fields is key to today’s world and to today’s jobs, even if your students don’t go into a STEM field.

Nearly 90% of businesses plan to integrate technology and automation, like robotics, into the workplace. To prepare students for success, we need to teach them the technology.

Learning how to solve engineering and technology problems helps students develop crucial problem-solving skills and builds self-confidence.
