Our Educators
Are you an educator with questions, comments, or concerns? Do you need help choosing the right solution for your classroom? Parallax’s Education Department is available to assist you. We have a dedicated staff ready to help over the phone, by email, and during professional development courses. They possess a wealth of information and resources to get you, and your students, on the path to success.
Program Options
If your school hasn’t explored robotics because it looked too expensive, technical, or difficult to implement, we have products that are both inexpensive and surprisingly easy to teach. Parallax’s programs focus on a high robot-per-pupil ratio, increasing the opportunity for every student to learn about programming and electronics at under $250 per kit.
