STEAM Education was at ISTE 2016
STEAM Education’s CEO & Founder was at ISTE 2016 in Denver with our key tech advisor. We did our best to check out the many exhibits of new products on the market (in between taking meetings and attending show events) so we could bring back and share with you those that impressed us the most. STEAM promotes Bluebee Pals as an educational tool at the ISTE Tradeshow.
Here are the products that impressed us from ISTE (note: STEAM Education was not paid to promote these products)
- Bluebee Pals:
Fun Interactive Learning plush toys. Some of the STEAM staff are currently working with these to see how we can incorporate them and are having great fun so far! - BYJU:
A great 3D platform learning App providing interactive online learning for exam prep and more. “BYJU’s Learning App makes use of original content, watch-and-learn videos, rich animations and interactive simulations that, as opposed to rote memorization, make learning contextual and visual, not just theoretical.” BYJUS website - Cogent Education:
