MONTVALE, N.J., Aug. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Eduscape, the leading professional learning organization in the US, is expanding its partnership with Photon to bring Photon Teaching Kits to educators throughout North America.

Photon is not just a robot, it is a complete solution for teachers, with no coding experience, to increase student achievement through coding, computer science, and computational thinking. The Teaching Kits create a learning ecosystem, and content areas include: SEL, Special Education, Early Education, AI Junior, Sustainable Energy, Coding & Robotics, and Physics.

“In the Computational Thinking Counts in Elementary Grades project funded by the NSF, we chose Photon as one of our main technologies. It was an easy choice for us as Photon is both inviting and powerful. Hesitant teachers and students can be drawn in by its engaging features, so everyone can learn Computational Thinking by using Photons. They provide a friendly way to engage teachers and students in programming and problem solving,” stated Dr. Chandra Orrill, Professor – STEM Ed & Teacher Development at UMASS Dartmouth.
