Sphero makes remarkably cool, programmable robots and STEAM-based educational tools that transform the way kids learn, create and invent through coding, science, music, and the arts. Using information available, combined with skills acquired, can help make good decisions. That's the basic process of critical thinking. Critical thinkers can solve problems by keeping a clear mind and rational thoughts that will help you analyze a situation and make a sound decision.
STEM teaching is the hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics concepts, and it's becoming an increasingly important part of modern-day education. STEM skills grant students the 21st-century abilities needed to perform a wide range of both essential and highly-skilled jobs.
Risk-taking, leaping, trying again, and failing are part of our genetic material. Without it, humans would not have inhabited every corner of this planet. Oftentimes we can see failure, particularly in exams, as negative - one of the worst things we can allow students to experience. But what if we allow students to fail in a safe space and make learning a personal endeavor? Go #BeyondCode and enrich your learning experience with engaging STEAM activities that foster creativity and collaboration.

The Sphero ecosystem of tools and the Sphero Edu platform gives kids, teachers, and parents of all learning and coding abilities a blank canvas to solve challenges at home, in school, and beyond.

September 2022 marks one year of Sphero indi bringing play-based learning to the classroom for the earliest learners. A lot has happened during indi's first year-it was named one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of 2021 , made its way into thousands of Pre-K and elementary classrooms across the world, and filled our feed with kiddos having so much fun learning! We'd love to celebrate this milestone with all of you, so here's a free printable activity for indi's first birthday party!

Universal Design for Learning is a teaching framework developed by Massachusetts-based education nonprofit CAST that caters to all students regardless of their personality type or academic ability. Based on scientific insights into the learning process, UDL provides guidelines for all forms of learning, both inside and outside the classroom.

Inquiry-based learning is a method of learning where students are asked questions based on real-life experiences. By contextualizing the questions, students explore how they think, rather than simply being told what to think. At its core, inquiry-based learning encourages students to be more curious about their learning and to reflect deeply on how they arrive at conclusions.

No, your link is not broken. Curriculum Pathways® from SAS was officially retired July 15, 2021. Since its launch more than two decades ago, the product has provided interactive resources in the core disciplines and other subjects for educators and students. But it is time to move forward.

SAS®, a recognized leader in analytics, will continue supporting K-12 education with tools and resources advancing data literacy. Organizations around the globe are looking for candidates who can think critically to discern creative solutions for today's problems. Our new education outreach program is designed to introduce and build those skills that are now in high demand.

Read more about our data literacy initiative and explore the resources-some familiar and some new-that you can use today to develop data-savvy global citizens for tomorrow:

SAS® DataFly - Brand new! Bring data into your classroom in the form of personalized, customized student responses. Pose questions, create and administer surveys, and then analyze the results.

GatherIQ™ - Learn about the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 using impact stories and data to explain the needs and outline solutions.

SAS® CodeSnaps - Have students work collaboratively to build a program with this iOS app directing a Sphero robot to run an obstacle course, play soccer, navigate a map and more.

SAS® Math Stretch - Help students master important number skills with this iOS app. Adjust the difficulty, assign practice for understanding and quiz students to check proficiency.

These are just the beginning! Bookmark our data literacy site and visit often to learn more. Follow us@SASEducator as we add offerings to encourage curiosity and promote problem-solving for the next generation.

If you have additional questions about Curriculum Pathways, check out the FAQs below.

Thank you,

The SAS Education Outreach Team
FAQ's: Why did Curriculum Pathways retire?

Many of the older resources were built using technologies no longer supported by modern browsers or sustainable for long-term use. Also, several external web sites referenced in lessons ceased to exist and replacements were unavailable.

Over the lifetime of Curriculum Pathways, many new programs and applications have been developed by other providers in the education space-a lot of them available at no cost.

Both public and private sectors need data scientists and other technology specialists. SAS, a global analytics and data company, is uniquely positioned to provide supporting resources for data literacy and computer science in keeping with our core values.

What can I use instead of Curriculum Pathways resources?
Look for both OER (open education resources) and paid resources to be used in place of Curriculum Pathways. Below are a just a few examples of alternative resources.
Are any of the Curriculum Pathways resources still available?
See the links above for information on SAS® CodeSnaps, SAS® Math Stretch, and GatherIQ™.

Benefits of Bubbl.us mind maps over text:

Superior clarity of structured information

Whether it's a family tree, a decision flow map, or an algorithm, mind maps have a huge advantage in presenting complexity clearly and concisely.

Better retention of complex ideas.

Visualizing complex ideas in shapes, lines, and pictures leads to much better recollection later than simple text.

Creative collaboration with others.

Visual brainstorming with a team can dramatically improve the quality of the final product because of diversity of perspectives and experiences.
