EDGEucating Vetted Product

We know from personal experience that teachers sometimes feel overwhelmed by the multitude of resources available. It can take a tremendous amount of time to sift through and locate the right edtech products to use in the classroom.

To help teachers make better use of their time and resources we have vetted and curated for you this collection of educational resources to use in your classroom.

EDGEucating only recommends products that we have fully vetted and believe in as part of our endorsed products list. We want this to be a place where you can purchase with confidence!  As educators, we understand the frustration of buying a product that doesn’t live up to its promises.  Our own experiences fueled our desire to start EDGEucating and begin vetting products so that this doesn’t happen to other educators.  
This is a FREE resource for educators!  The vendors pay our fees and there is no pass-through cost for you.
In addition to vetting the products, we have secured agreements with trusted vendors who offer excellent customer service.

Includes different documents for different ages. Some adult assistance is helpful for third graders.

TeacherGeek solves the frustrations of STEM/STEAM/makerspaces for teachers and kids:

  • READY-TO-GO PACKS – just hand them out and get started: pre-divided 10-packs include printed guides and plenty of extra parts
  • AMAZING EDITABLE CURRICULUM – award-winning, editable documents, videos, labs, challenges, and more get kids designing, investigating, and competing in challenges
  • STANDARDS ALIGNED – curriculum is teacher designed and aligned to NGSS, CCSS, ITEEA, and state standards
  • REAL ENGINEERING – kids actually design, test, redesign, and repeat; there’s no perfect design, so kids are never done making
  • REAL DATA – data so good kids can measure the effects of design changes, even using the data to complete optional science labs
  • RECYCLING BIN INNOVATION – recycling bin + TeacherGeek = even more creativity

TeacherGeek is not a toy; it’s way better! Kids love making real things, especially when they get to use age-appropriate tools.
