Teachers Love SAM Labs.
"I love the versatility of the product! I can incorporate one or a few blocks into so many areas of my STEM curriculum."
"See a problem, imagine solutions, then create and test it. When it may fail - because sometimes it does - then go back through the steps and troubleshoot and improve it. Students love the freedom to be creative, and SAM Labs provides just that opportunity."
"The possibilities are endless! Students are able to do so many things with a few blocks."
“I think your product is awesome. It’s engaging and intuitive, I really wish that products like SAM Labs become the future of play for kids and teenagers. It connects what they learn in school to hands-on activities. If more kids got to play with it, STEM will be much more popular worldwide.”
“I have seen a lot of curriculum over the years. A lot. And SAM Labs does THE best job of packaging curriculum, of making it teacher friendly…it’s just so easy to use, and so well done. You’ll see sometimes, [other curriculum] is easy to use but it’s not high quality. SAM Labs is high quality AND easy to use. I absolutely love that."
"So much potential with SAM Labs across all grade levels, great customer service, great lesson ideas, wonderful community!"
"Great product, but what sets SAM Labs apart is the curriculum and support they offer. Great, challenging curriculum, based on grade levels. So easy to use no matter what the teacher's coding skills."
“I love the spirit of collaboration that SAM Labs fosters with my students.”
"I like using SAM Labs because my students enjoy the experiences. They are learning content through application. Experiment with the blocks yourself. Have fun. Take the Professional Development courses and allow your students to explore the blocks before starting a project. Their creativity goes wild once they have some freedom to explore."
“SAM Labs’ versatility and ease of use make lessons feel new, exciting and engaging.”
