The Ed Tech Round Up

"Overall, SAM Labs is an absolutely wonderful resource for integrating STEAM and coding skills into K-8 classrooms. While their kits certainly aren’t cheap, they are durable and high quality. Plus, their ability to integrate with other physical resources like Vernier probes, Sphero robots, etc. through Google’s Workbench is exciting to see."
