Innovate in TechEd
We are actively disrupting technology education through our innovative approaches to teaching the subject. Here are three ways that we are innovating the TechEd industry.

The SHAPE framework
Choosing the right level of scaffolding at the right time is crucial. Too much can be dull for learners, too little can cause anxiety. Our SHAPE framework supports educators with five stages of skills development.

Flock 3D
Our prototype 3D block-based programming language bridges Scratch and professional 3D tools like UEFN and Unity. Using Blender-created assets, it allows creators to build interactive 3D worlds.

Textbooks for the Metaverse
Our project, “Textbooks for the Metaverse,” is set to transform tech education by reimagining traditional textbooks in an immersive 3D environment. We will create a unique learning experience that blends structure with creativity, providing an interactive space where all learners can thrive.
