May promises new possibilities  In the final analysis, a product will stand or fall based on its performance. It is the performance of Pitsco’s curriculum solutions that consistently wins educators over. But this success is not Pitsco’s alone – it is the result of an effort we apply together to reach an objective we share: to bring change to the lives of learners. The celebratory spirit of spring renews us for this effort, and we anticipate new growth and possibilities. Alongside tried-and-true Pitsco robotics offerings such as TETRIX®, PULSE™, and PRIZM®, an exciting new contribution appears – KUBO. KUBO comes to K-2 education in the US with an easy and fun, screen-free coding solution that enables students to physically problem-solve. Students are taken from simple to advanced levels of programming and computational thinking. Even at this young age, students can learn coding, 21st-century skills, and engineering design – essential for inhabitants of our increasingly automated world. Educators must choose their learning tools wisely. The procurement of these tools can be assisted by the grants listed below.
