Alternative Energy
With the threat of climate change growing larger every day, today’s young people will be the ones tasked with saving our planet. Giving them a solid background in alternative energy is the best way to prepare them for this responsibility. Learning how to harness natural resources like sun and wind energy will open up new possibilities for powering our world more sustainably.
Audio & Video with Virtual & Augmented Reality
One major thing we learned during the pandemic was our ability (and need) to conduct meetings and lessons through audio and video calls. As we move forward, technologies like HUE cameras and AR/VR headsets will continue to embed themselves in our daily lives and how we interact with each other.
Construction & Engineering
As the world’s population expands, we have greater need for more diverse housing and public building options. Being able to design a space that can sustain dozens or hundreds of people without feeling cramped or relying too heavily on non-renewable resources will be a high-demand skill. Start kids off on the right foot by sharing structural design principles through a K’NEX building set.
Electronics Project Kits, Tools & Supplies
Just a few decades ago, computers, programming, and coding were only managed by the most technical-minded people. As technology advances, these skills are becoming more mainstream, to the point where computer science courses will soon be a requirement for high school graduates. Using electronic project kits to learn about circuits, soldering, programming, and coding in the classroom will prepare today’s students for careers in technology-focused industries that will change our daily lives.
Robotics
Educational toys like robots help kids learn basic engineering design and programming skills, while showing them how their code affects the robot in real time. More than just STEM classes, robots can also be used in literacy, physical science, and math classes. Children also learn soft skills like planning, teamwork, and perseverance. To keep the learning authentic, help students discover how robots are used in agriculture, healthcare, automotives, and space exploration.
Science
Science may not be the most loved subject in school, but it’s arguably the most important. The various concepts of science surround us every day, whether we realize it or not. Biology, physics, chemistry, nanotechnology, farming, and astronomy are all aspects of science that are worthy of our time and attention. For students, these concepts can be highly complex but STEM kits, toys, and other products for schools can break down this overwhelming topics into easy-to-digest tidbits that are more manageable for young learners.
