Through a variety of software, tools and initiates, SAM Labs has created a [STEM kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codee), which can be utilized in biology and art classrooms alike. The kit allows [coding to be a creative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elecrow-crowpi-3) and entertaining process, encouraging kids to call upon both imaginative and tactile skills. The kit, which can be used in a multi-disciplinary manner, enables students to create "an internet of things they didn't know were possible," potentially igniting the entrepreneur, designer, or scientist in the user. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **STEAM Education:** Integrating arts into STEM education creates an opportunity to introduce robotics and computer sciences in classrooms. - **Multi-disciplinary Learning:** STEM kits that can be used in biology and art classrooms are facilitating multi-disciplinary learning and creativity. - **Internet of Things (iot) Education:** STEM kits that allow coding to be a creative process while creating an IoT result in new learning opportunities for students. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Education Technology:** The integration of art within STEM education plans requires modern and interactive ed tech tools and software, providing an opportunity to innovate in ed tech. - **Toy and Game Manufacturing:** Manufacturers who provide build-it-yourself STEM kits for kids are fostering creativity and a curiosity-driven mindset among future generations. - **Creative Technology:** STEM kits that offer an IoT result created through a creative process represent a growing opportunity for creative tech startups in the education industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable STEM Education Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-haptics-grasp-it.md) - [STEM Sports Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-subscription.md) - [Hybrid STEM Activity Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/science-activity-kits.md) - [Modular STEM Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-evolution-of-stem.md) - [STEM-Driven Building Block Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-education-science-kits.md) - [AI-Enhanced STEM Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidx-classbox.md) - [Sports-Based STEM Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphero-sports.md) - [Hands-On Computer Science Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-education-computer-science-ai.md) - [3D Game-Based Educational platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stemuli.md)
