Hamilton™ Classroom Teacher Supplies

Hamilton™ Teacher Supplies offers a wide array of educational tools designed to enrich the classroom experience, particularly emphasizing STEM and STEAM learning. The Edison Educational Robot Kits are particularly popular, available in various sets from single units to whole class packs, making them accessible and scalable for different classroom needs. These kits include the programmable Edison robots that support multiple free languages, such as EdBlocks for beginners, EdScratch for intermediate learners, and EdPy for advanced programming. These robots, which come with batteries and additional programming resources, are rugged and capable of withstanding classroom wear and tear, even to the extent of being driven over by a car! Moreover, their LEGO® compatibility allows for endless creativity and expansion, making them a versatile tool for engaging students in technology, engineering, and programming from an early age.

When choosing Hamilton™ Teacher Supplies products for classroom use, several factors are worth considering. First, think about the age and skill level of your students to ensure the products match their capabilities and foster their development. For example, younger students might benefit from EdBlocks’ drag-and-drop interface, while older or more advanced students may find EdPy’s Python programming language more beneficial. Assessing classroom size and budget is also crucial, as Hamilton™ offers a range of packages from single units to large sets suitable for full classes. The durability and safety of the products, such as the Edison robots that can endure significant wear, should confirm their suitability for a classroom environment where they will be frequently used and handled.

For students, Hamilton™ Teacher Supplies products offer numerous educational and creative opportunities. Students can experiment with robotics and coding using the various programming languages supported by the Edison robots. Beyond learning the basics of coding, students can engage in hands-on learning by constructing complex systems with the robots’ LEGO® compatible plates. Activities facilitated by these tools can help students develop problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and creativity as they build, program, and modify their robots. Additionally, the STEAM/STEM Creator’s Kits provide further avenues for exploration, such as green screen production, stop-motion animation, and 3D doodling, enabling students to bring their imaginative ideas to life in a meaningful way.
