Xploris All-in-One STEAM Lab

The Xploris by Labdisc is a powerful all-in-one STEAM tool, packed with the latest technology to enable full coverage of K-6 subject areas. Xploris integrates science data logging, math, coding, control, and art. From crafting a pixel art flower animation to coding it to open its petals when sunlight hits a light sensor, Xploris covers it all! Comes complete with access to training and over 40 K-12 standards-driven lessons.

From enabling outdoor field studies and inspiring artistic visual and audio creations to powering interdisciplinary coding challenges, the Xploris Labdisc gives students the freedom to explore wherever curiosity leads. Its all-in-one design eliminates the need for multiple tools or complex setups, so teachers can focus on guiding inquiry instead of managing equipment. With cross-curricular applications, Xploris helps students connect concepts through real-world data collection, mathematical analysis, artistic creativity, and coding challenges. With 5 sensor inputs and multiple output options, Xploris becomes a hub for integrated STEAM learning. The Xploris all-in-one STEAM Lab has been optimized for K-6 classrooms where you are looking for one device to tackle a little bit of every subject.
