If you’ve read our CEO’s blog, “Why I LOVE Working at EI,” you already know that Educational Innovations is a VERY friendly workplace for dogs. We started with Brody, our official “EI Lab dog.” Next came Hunny, then Griffin, and last—but NEVER least—our frisky young Molly. These puppies are doted upon by all EI employees. There are always fresh carrots in the fridge and various sized Milk Bones on hand for our furry tribe.

The Databot Game fired up an intense new challenge recently. We were in Salt Lake City at the NSTA Regional Conference attended by thousands of science educators. The Databot Game is a fun approach to exploring the invisible world of data that surrounds us. It facilitates learning about sensor data in a way that naturally eng
ages students in learning core science concepts addressed by databot’s on-board sensors. Databot’s sensors were specifically designed to provide a plethora of options for educators to teach Earth Science, Physics, Chemistry, Life Science, and even Environmental Science.

Not too long ago, we traveled to North Idaho and the beautiful town of Coeur d’Alene where the annual Idaho Science Teachers Association (ISTA) was holding the great Idaho STEM Together! Over 300 educators and STEM enthusiasts showed up to partake in activities, professional development sessions, and field trips. Of course Team databot™ was there!
As advertised, we held a competition to see who could deliver the highest CO2 level possible. The prize for the highest level? A complete databot™ kit! Read the rest of this entry »
