In today's digitally interconnected world, social media has revolutionized the way people communicate, collaborate, and consume information. It has permeated various aspects of our lives, including education, where it presents unique opportunities for teachers to engage students in new and exciting ways. One particular field that can greatly benefit from this integration is STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education.
Let’s take a closer look at how teachers can effectively incorporate social media into a STEM curriculum.

The pandemic forced many students to switch to online courses. While virtual learning was a useful stopgap measure in the absence of in-person classes, certain topics proved very difficult to teach remotely, especially hands-on STEM subjects. For physical science, technology and engineering courses, in-person classes work best, but there’s still a place for online learning.
At RobotLAB, we believe that every student deserves access to the latest technologies and learning tools to prepare them for the future.
As part of our commitment to supporting STEM education, we've compiled a list of existing and new grants that schools can apply for to invest in robotics technology and support their educational programs.
We understand that finding the right funding can be a challenge for schools, which is why we've done the research and put together a comprehensive list of STEM opportunities and resources to help you navigate the offerings available.

So you’ve got a passion for robotics and you want to share it with your classmates? Or perhaps you’re an educator and you’re eager to introduce students to this rapidly expanding part of the tech sector. In either case, starting a club dedicated to the topic of robotics, including theoretical discussions as well as practical experiments, is a great way to fulfill your ambitions. So what’s the best way to go about this? Let’s look at the steps you’ll need to take.

Dear Constituent: Good news: California ranking dead last in public education spending is over. Thanks to the 2022-23 state budget signed by Gov. Newsom last week, California could jump into the top 10 states nationwide for per pupil spending. For some perspective on how far we've come, as recently as 2011, California ranked 50th nationwide for per pupil spending on K-12 public schools. By last year, thanks to our voter-approved progressive tax system and responsible budgeting during the past decade, California had climbed to 19th. The 2022-23 state budget increases K-12 public education funding by a record 13% over last year, with the allocation for public K-12 schools and community colleges increasing by a record $37.2 billion. That's nearly triple the funding K-12 schools received in 2011. And each of our UC and CSU campuses will receive a 5% increase. Over the coming weeks, I will send you additional e-newsletters highlighting major aspects of this year's historic 2022-23 state budget. K-12 Education Budget Highlights

As chair of the Senate's Budget and Fiscal Review Committee, it was my honor to work on this year's transformative budget. Please be on the look-out for future e-newsletters from me regarding other major aspects of the historic 2022-23 state budget. It is a privilege serving as your state Senator. Sincerely,
Nancy Skinner P.S. You can follow me on Facebook and Twitter for more updates from the Capitol and throughout Senate District 9. |

The marriage between health science and technology has been a long and happy one. However, that union has perhaps never been more important than it is today. Now, more than ever, state-of-the-art technologies, from bioengineering to artificial intelligence (AI), are playing a leading role in optimizing patient care, supporting healthcare providers, and expanding the scope of medical knowledge.
Among the most significant and promising of these technologies in the domain of health, sciences are robotics.
These technologies are not only increasingly being used in clinics, hospitals, and operating rooms, but also in health sciences classrooms at every level, including primary, secondary, and post-secondary education. This article explores the reasons why you should begin integrating robotics into your health sciences courses and identifies key strategies for doing so.

All children deserve the right to be set up for success, and one of the ways children are prepared to do their best in school is based on their access to technology. Technology is a great equalizer for all children, and all children can become better learners through the use of technology — especially children with disabilities. Despite this benefit of technology in the classroom, however, not all technology is accessible to all children. How can parents and educators ensure all students, no matter their ability, receive the best education they can?

Solid STEM education is perhaps one of the best gifts parents and teachers can give students, equipping them today with the tools they will need to fill some of the most lucrative and in-demand jobs of tomorrow. But although STEM learning has so much to offer, many children, teens, and college students often avoid science and technology curricula due to the inherent rigor of such programs.

Robots are exciting to play tools for children and young adults. What if students learned how to make robots? Would robotics make it easy to handle STEM? Would the robots make other concepts easier to understand?
