STEM Kids Teacher School Classroom Nominations Open + Exclusive MBE Robot Giveaway

Education

MBE partnered with Learning Resources for this post

MBE's Botley the Coding Robot Giveaway Below

As mom to triplets plus one more -- two boys, two girls all born within a year -- who is extremely passionate about exposing young children to STEM and coding, I could not be more thrilled to be joining forces with Learning Resources. With National Robotics Week April 7-15th, I can't think of a better post to be publishing today.

Sign the STEM Pledge, Nominate A School to Win

MBE's goal is to share this educational toy company's exciting new partnership with Danielle and Adam Busby, parents of America's only all-female quintuplets (best known for their appearance on TLC's hit reality series Outdaughtered). 

In their role as ambassadors for the brand, the Busbys are inviting moms and dads across the U.S. to join them to sign the STEM pledge, as well to support equal opportunities for all students in science, technology, engineering and math and to nominate your child's school or teacher to receive STEM products. I just took the pledge myself today, won't you join me?

Parents who sign the pledge will also be given the opportunity to nominate a school or teacher, FIVE of which will be selected to each receive $500 worth of Learning Resources STEM products for their classrooms. 

Botley the Coding Robot Review + MBE Giveaway

Among the newest cool STEM-inspired toys released this year and now available from Learning Resources is the Botley the Coding Robot Activity Set ($79.99), which is a personal favorite of Blayke Busby.  

This programmable robot 77-piece STEM activity set is ideal for teaching little ones as young as five years old basic coding skills in a fun and engaging way. Botley's advanced features make it possible for kids to explore coding with this unique robot which can detect objects in its path, be programmed for if/then logic, follow looping commands, and can navigate an obstacle course. The best part: this toy does NOT require the use of a smartphone or tablet, providing 100% screen-free early educational play for girls and boys.

Here's how Botley works...

Thanks to Learning Resources, exclusively for our readers, we are giving away a Botley the Coding Robot over on Mommy Blog Expert's Instagram page to one lucky family to learn and play with at home.

First-time Google Assistant Built-in to a Laptop 

Lately Google has been really kicking it out of the park with a constant roll-out of new tech product categories for enhancing family living, especially in the voice-based artificial intelligence space. Notably, Google Home has sold millions of units already, and continues to close in on its competitors. Meanwhile, with the introduction of the new high performance Chromebook Google Pixelbook now available at Best Buy, Google Assistant comes built in to a laptop for the first time.

Bringing multi-tasking to the next level, just think how much more convenient family living can be with the 4-in-1 Pixelbook featuring a 360 degree touchscreen.  With this sleek new ultra-thin device and an array of apps for work and play like the GSuite apps, Google Play Movies, YouTube Red, and more, you will have the home-team advantage you seek.

Use the dedicated Google Assistant key on the keyboard or simply say the "Okay Google" wake-up word, allowing your voice to control just about everything in your connected home -- the thermostat, refrigerator, baby monitor, garage door, door locks, security system, indoor and outdoor lighting, the list goes on -- without stepping away from your laptop. Alternately, use the Pixelbook Pen to press and hold down the button, then tap Pixelbook's screen and instantly access your Assistant.

This is Google's thinnest laptop ever at just 10.3mm thick. Compatible with the Pixelbook Pen, which is sold separately, you also have the option to increase your efficiency with a smart and responsive stylus. Best of all, Pixelbook is powered by Chrome OS, so you'll always have the latest security and software features you need and want.

Long story short: Pixelbook is built for hectic always on the run family lifestyles like yours and mine. This do-everything laptop starts up in under ten seconds, continues to run and charge fast, plus the battery delivers up to ten hours of power from a single charge.

What parent can't use a little extra reliable and affordable help, right? Pixelbook is a busy mom or dad's dream. With one of these on duty in your home, you're no longer a slave to your laptop, minimizing stress and creating more quality time to spend with your significant other and kids.

Google Pixelbook, in three models with a regular price ranging from $999.99 - $1,649, is waiting for you and your family online and in-store at Best Buy.
