Lab Pack

Looking to build a Robust and Flexible CS Program?

Hardware to enable any teacher to teach coding, engineering, STEM, and robotics. Our standards-aligned curriculum contains lessons to inspire beginner coders while challenging the advanced engineers. The Lab Pack is ideal for labs, large class sizes, or to augment STEM classes with IBL. With Further, we make instruction and class management simpler for teachers, so schools can rollout programs quickly and meet state mandates. 

• Includes: 30 Hardware Kits + 1 Year of Further LMS for teachers and students 
• Grades: 6+
• 1hr LIVE Online Onboarding
• 2hr LIVE Support
• Teacher Certification
• Access to pi-top content on the Further LMS = 300+ Hours of Learning
• Recommended 1-2 students per hardware kit
• Additional Resources: Further LMS Library Info, Certifications & PD, CSTA Standards Alignment Docs, Sample Lesson Plan,  Supporting Neurodiversity

Supporting teachers, no matter their experience level
The hardware is perfect for both the first time teacher as well as seasoned CS, Robotics, STEM, or Engineering teachers. We provide resources and lesson plans to help teachers implement technology while building teacher confidence through certifications & PD. Further to tailor-made to make teaching easy - student rostering integrated with Clever and Google, customizable lessons aligned to standards, interactive coding platform, independent or whole group learning, assessment and progress tracking. 





Supporting students, no matter their experience level
Beginner Level Coding & Robotics: Access to beginner level projects that can be used in CS classes, STEM classes, and more. Students will use their creativity, mix in electronics & code to experience an introduction to programming while building problem solving and computational thinking skills. With Block-pi, a block-based language, coding becomes more accessible and easier to understand. 

Advanced Level Coding, Robotics, AI & Machine Learning: With our advanced curriculum, students design, construct, and code complex projects using pi-top's custom lessons and code libraries. Our premade courses are aligned with CSTA standards and focus on CS, robotics, gaming, and AI topics.

Increase Equity in CS
Our self-paced learning design makes it easy for students to lead their own learning while teachers assume a facilitator role. Let us help you make IBL available across your school with limited burden on the teacher. At pi-top, we recognize that all learners are different and they have different needs. Therefore, we embrace neurodiversity by employing a strengths-based model to empower all learners, fostering confidence and success in education.
