Your board sees results. Your teachers feel supported. Your students get the same quality experience, every classroom, every school.
Every school is teaching STEAM differently. Teachers without real support. Skills not being measured. Equity that exists on paper. A board waiting for answers you can't give yet. That's what SAM Labs is built to solve.
From visual block coding to advanced programming, Flow Coding is a methodology that adapts as students develop, no ceiling, no gaps. Students don't just follow instructions; they create, iterate, and own what they build.
SAM Labs Bluetooth-enabled blocks connect wirelessly to SAM Studio. Students program them to light up, spin motors, react to sensors, turning code into something real and immediate. No prior experience needed.
850+ ready-to-use lessons aligned to national and state standards, structured, engaging, and designed to work from day one. Every lesson gives students something tangible to build, explore, and create, while giving teachers a clear path to follow without starting from scratch.
We don't just deliver a product, we train the people using it. Our professional development program equips every teacher with the confidence and tools to implement SAM Labs from day one, with zero prior tech or coding experience required. Lessons are designed to be grab-and-go, so teachers love how easy it is to get started.
Our customer success team stays close after implementation, making sure SAM Labs runs smoothly, teachers feel supported, and schools get the most out of every kit and lesson.
FRST (Future Ready Skills Tracker) turns daily lessons into longitudinal evidence of student growth. Teachers capture skill development during regular instruction, while leaders see progress across classes, grades, and schools, connecting your Portrait of a Graduate to what's actually happening in the classroom.
A visual, intuitive way to code that lowers the barrier to entry without sacrificing depth. Cause and effect, fast, students see their ideas come to life the moment they hit play.
Beyond coding: critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration, the durable skills students will carry into every classroom, career, and challenge ahead.
Track engagement, skill progression, and project completion per school and grade. Concrete data to guide budget, curriculum, and board decisions.
Meet FRSTThe same lesson runs the same way in every classroom, whether it's 5 schools or 50. District-wide consistency, predictable results, zero fragmentation.
Real hardware, real engineering, real-time feedback. Students don't just write code, they build, test, and debug live. Learning becomes something they can hold.
From drag-and-drop in K to text-based in 8th, the platform meets students where they are and scales with them, no jarring jumps, no left-behind moments.
Hardware, software, and curriculum arrive as one system. Teachers open the box and start teaching, no assembly, no IT tickets, no lost weeks.
Seamless SSO and rostering with the platforms you trust.

Real voices from real classrooms — teachers, directors, and SAMbassadors building the future of STEAM.
One of the most powerful aspects of SAM Labs is seeing students' coding logic expressed in the real world. Students quickly see what worked, what didn't work, or what worked but not in the way they thought.

I have seen a lot of curriculum over the years, and SAM Labs does the best job of packaging curriculum in a way that is teacher-friendly and high-quality. I absolutely love that!

The pain points for me are always materials and prep, and you guys had all of it. The lessons and the slides being prepped was amazing. It saved me 1–3 hours per lesson.

I notice a great deal of engagement. The kids are super excited. Even with the activities that go along with it, they're really engaged. There are great discussions and risk-taking, especially.

My favorite thing about using SAM Labs is the way it helps students use coding and hands-on materials to create a sensory experience that tells a story to show their science learning.

SAM Labs' versatility and ease of use make lessons feel new, exciting and engaging.
Rory McGrath

Shacklewell Primary School, UK
SAM Labs is super user-friendly. The kit is well organized and the lessons are well done. Some products are difficult to get started with and just sit on the shelves and don't get used. This is not true with SAM Labs.
Darcy Duffy
STEM Teacher
Lemon Grove School, Ventura USD
Students are highly engaged when using STEAM and coding. SAM Labs have great resources available and they offer teacher training and support.

What I really like about this work is that it is very high level, it is 'real life', and most of all, it's fun. The kids are learning but not really realizing how much learning they're doing.

This can change a classroom. We hold so much power in our hands and when we are making decisions based on what is best for students, this experience has given them real-world experience that is so very powerful. It also connects with computational thinking.
