The Mimio MyBot Educational Robotic System – is a powerful and innovative robotics program that enables students from pre-school to high school to develop STEM skills and a passion for programming and robotics. Through innovative robots and a comprehensive software platform, educators receive an out-of-the-box solution, complete with a robust curriculum, STEM lessons, tutorials, and videos. Since internet access or connectivity is not necessary, connection with existing school networks is eliminated, thus preventing a cyber-security risk. Most importantly, MyBot’s simple, inviting, and browser-based user interface speeds the time spent getting the students up, running, and learning in the robotics environment.

The PocketLab – PocketLab is a wireless sensor for exploring the world and building science experiments in the classroom. PocketLab connects to your iPhone or iPad and streams measurement data that you can see and record. It measures acceleration, force, angular velocity, magnetic field, pressure, altitude, and temperature. PocketLab is the latest attempt to make affordable sensors for classroom use.

Sound Uncovered – This app allows children to learn sounds using science as a tool. Users can select from 15 topics, accompanied by a “What’s Going On” article. The Find the Highest Note feature lets the user tap keys in a clockwise direction until they pinpoint the highest note. The question mark at the bottom of the screen provides information about sound phenomena.

Spore – Imagine you could create a species! Now, bring it to life in Spore. This game guides players through the evolution of their species in five stages: cell, creature, tribal, city, and space. Players gather resources to ensure the survival of their species, including Spore’s late-game currency. Players can choose their method of dominating other species using violent and nonviolent options available in each game.

Chairs! Organic Chemistry Game – This app is an interactive puzzle game designed to teach organic chemistry by having students learn about chair conformations. It is designed as a game in which students can learn and have fun at the same time. Users learn by forming different types of bonds, including axial and equatorial bonds. Kids are ranked based on how well they perform. This game has 13 levels with increasing difficulty at each level.

Contraption Maker – This is a game in which players act as wacky engineers. The game aims to get the missing parts of machines by doing a series of repair actions. The game also has built-in puzzles that test players, from simple challenges to advanced brain teasers. Players also design their machines and share the results online.

Couragion – Couragion can be used to help kids identify career choices. In the beginning, kids get to complete a questionnaire by filling in the details with the applicable answers. The results of the survey will be used to assign to different STEM-related career choices. In Couragion, kids are engaged and educated about such career choices.

Happy Atoms – Happy Atoms is a physical and digital teaching tool that lets kids discover the world of molecules in an intuitive, hands-on way. This interactive learning tool combines a digital app with a physical modeling set that lets students from fourth grade through college approach chemistry from a different angle. With Happy Atoms, kids learn key the difference between elements, feel the forces that bond them together, experiment with ways to combine them and discover the relationships between molecular structure and properties.

Meet Science: Magnetism and Electricity – This tool is divided into four main categories, each of which targets a specific way to educate kids. The Learn category gives kids access to seven different lessons. In the Experiment category, students to perform the experiments found at the end of each lesson. The Glossary category presents the definitions of concepts for the student to read.  Mini games are included to combine fun and learning.
