A Hands-On STEM Tool For Teaching Creativity, Collaboration, Critical and Computational Thinking

We described this resource as Legos on steroids, but the creator corrected us, “Arckit is not a toy, it’s a tool” developed by architects for architects and adapted for use in the classroom. If you’re looking for a hands-on, engaging STEM resource for teaching creativity, collaboration, and critical and computational thinking with precision and real-world application, listen to our ten-minute FAQ with the founders, followed by our ed tech review and rating. Follow on Twitter: @mrhooker @bamradionetwork @jonharper70bd @Arckitmodel ARCKIT is a freeform architectural modeling system that allows you to physically explore designs and bring your ideas to life with speed and precision. Based on modern building techniques and a 1.2m/4ft grid to scale, the ‘click and connect’ modular components make it possible to create a vast range of structures that can be quickly assembled, endlessly modified, and finished to perfection.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
