Elementary STEM Lab
An LJ Create Elementary STEM Lab is designed around this methodology, using a combination of digital presentations, virtual simulations and investigations, hands-on practical experiments, open ended projects and computer-based assessments to engage the students while meeting the standards that must be taught in today’s 21st Century classrooms.
Our Living with STEM courses provide a comprehensive set of lessons for an elementary science or STEM program. Our hands-on digital courses teach standards-based science, technology, and engineering, and are supplemented with a range of support materials for English and Math.
We also offer an introductory course dedicated to STEM career exploration.
Our active learning program is composed of creative hands-on tasks and interactive software that work together so students can actively engage in their own learning. Prepared hardware kits with low consumables help you get the most out of our program. Many of our lessons also include exciting simulators that provide students with an introduction to the real-world application of STEM without leaving the classroom.

State Standards-Based Labs
At LJ Create, our content exists because you need to teach it. Our content creators have all been in the teaching profession, and understand the challenges in the field. We create hardware and software solutions built to meet specific standards that you teach in the classroom, so your students can be prepared for state testing and industry certification tests.
To meet the demanding needs of today’s classroom, our content is updated as your teaching standards change, so you won’t have to worry about the mapping.
Here is a sampling of the standards that we currently use to build our programs:
-
ASE Education Foundation standards for MLR, AST, & MAST
-
Electronics Technicians Association - Student Electronics Technician (ETA - SET)
-
ITEEA - Engineering, Technology, and Science Standards
-
ITEEA - Standards for Technological Literacy
-
Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
-
Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS)
-
Ohio’s New Learning Standards
-
REC Foundation - Pre-Engineering
-

zSpace in K12 Education
zSpace applications engage students in standards-based learning experiences that align with the curriculum. Students construct knowledge and understanding of concepts across multiple curriculum areas with a strong focus on STEM subjects.
Learning with zSpace
zSpace provides experiences and the medium to support instruction and students’ learning and curiosity. Students learn by asking questions, gathering information, developing models, testing ideas, analyzing data, and developing conclusions. Teachers facilitate learning by setting up tools and resources that help students through the lesson.
zSpace Learning Applications
"Every time I visit a zSpace class, the kids are 100 percent engaged, they absolutely love it and they can’t wait to get a visitor’s attention and share what they are doing."
