By: Eduscape The partnership addresses a critical pain point for educational leaders: while science, technology, and mathematics components of STEM have found their way into classrooms, engineering remains the most difficult element to implement meaningfully. The new joint venture combines Engino's scaffolded ecosystem of interlocking blocks, coding software, robotics, and design platforms with Eduscape's pedagogical expertise to create a comprehensive PreK-12 engineering solution. "Engineering, the 'E' in STEM, is the most challenging for teachers to implement and model for their students," explains Alex Urrea, Founder and CEO of Eduscape. "Yet, it is the most important because it brings together Science, Technology, and Math in contextual ways that allow students to achieve a deeper understanding of each subject. This partnership delivers a seamless solution that empowers students to operate like real engineers through the Engineering Design process." The new venture directly addresses the fragmentation that has plagued STEM implementation in districts nationwide. Educational leaders have struggled with unaligned products from various vendors that don't provide consistent scaffolding across grade levels, leading to what Urrea calls "STEM-sanity" Costas Sisamos, founder of Engino, emphasizes the engagement aspect: "The most critical challenge in modern STEM teaching is how to engage students. Our open-project designs based on real-life problems allow students to apply the Engineering Design Method, developing creativity and critical thinking skills in a problem-based manner." For education leaders seeking sustainable STEM solutions, the Engino Education partnership offers a unique value proposition: For more information go to: https://www.eduscape.com/ End
