Classroom Teachers Speak Out on The Best Products for STEM

MindLabs didn’t just win. They let educators tell the story.

This is what a Best of STEM® Educator Review looks like in practice: an independent evaluation from a credentialed classroom teacher, structured around real classroom use, captured on video, and delivered as a written review your sales team can lead with.

TEACHERS AWARD BRANDS BOTH BIG AND SMALL

In March of 2020, in collaboration with NSTA and MCH Strategic Data, we piloted our first “Educators’ Pick” award. We called it NSTA’s Best of Show. It was 2020 though, and suddenly everything became virtual. How could we have a Best of Show without a show?

Together with our awesome partners, NSTA and MCH Strategic Data, we had an idea. We took the competition virtual, and we reached over 280,000 science and STEM educators. Even in a pandemic, teachers showed their brand love by awarding the best of the best.
