From Struggle to Success: How We Revamped our STEAM Program (and the EdTech Tool that Helped!) During my tenure as a Business Development Manager at EDforTech, I have been fortunate to develop partnerships with some amazing people! One example is the partnership with Darron Lamkin, owner and operator of the non-profit group Class Matters Inc in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. EDforTech has provided Class Matters Inc with Codey Rocky robots, mBot Explorer kits, as well as mBot 2 kits to support their dedication to building STEM literacy across both male and female youth. They are using this cutting edge 21st Century technology to engage and empower youth, while also lessening the achievement gap. Their work has fostered collaboration among students and teachers, resulting in a significant increase in student engagement and problem solving, and has led to a more positive learning environment. Call to action: Have you encountered challenges in implementing a successful STEAM program? Let's connect and discuss how EDforTech can support your desires to build student engagement, lessen your achievement gap, and bring fun back into the classroom!
