"A mini-kidney has been grown in an Australian laboratory from what were originally skin cells, boosting hopes for the future treatment of kidney disease. The study adds support to a science-fiction-like goal of taking skin cells from a patient, using them to grow a kidney and then implanting it into the same patient, circumventing problems with transplant rejection."

"A class offered through the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math magnet program allows kids to design and fly their own drones."

"Cute, affordable, an easy to assemble, humanoid robot kit. Comes with 12 servos and servo control board(Arduino compatible). Designed for Raspberry Pi and its camera module. Looks small, acts large, its limitless possibilities all depends on how you program it."

"After stumbling upon the article, "Switch to e-books was 'an unmitigated disaster,' says school principal," in my feed this past week, it occurred to me that there are increasingly predictable patterns surrounding stories of failed "innovation" in digital learning initiatives. Schools have been assigning computers to each child for some time now. And still, we continue to see stories like this in the media. In short: we can do better than this."

"Cross Validated is a question and answer site for statisticians, data analysts, data miners and data visualization experts. It's 100% free, no registration required."

"The National STEM Centre works with schools, colleges, and partner organisations to support STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education."

"3D printer built with the least amount of parts, improving reliability, reducing price. Our unique rotating bed is revolutionary!"

"Science is best taught in a hands-on manner. For around $10 per student (plus fabric or other materials), they can create wearable circuits that will teach them not only about how circuits work, but also the fine motor skills involved in sewing, the planning skills associated with creating schematic diagrams, and the challenge of planning out more intricate circuits."

"Lightbeam is a Firefox add-on that uses interactive visualizations to show you the first and third party sites you interact with on the Web. As you browse, Lightbeam reveals the full depth of the Web today, including parts that are not transparent to the average user. "
