Education Purchase Information
There may be grants and funding programs available through your ministry to support STEM purchases for educational institutions. Some grants require applications to qualify. Synthiam has trained staff who can work with your team on grant applications to help reduce ARC subscription costs. In addition, some schools require a product presentation to demonstrate capabilities to decision-makers. Synthiam is always happy to provide demos of our software and its educational value in robotics and programming literacy.
Why Synthiam ARC For Your School
Volume License Discounts
Synthiam is a leading robot software platform, and we want to ensure your students have access to the best tools for learning robotics and programming literacy. Our team will work with you to arrange a volume license that fits your budget. If you are considering an ARC volume subscription, we can provide a trial and assign an associate to understand your requirements for volume usage.
Synthiam Makes Teaching Robotics Easy
Robotics is a broad field that includes AI/ML, electronics, programming, engineering mathematics, physics, and human interface design. We understand how overwhelming it can feel to teach robotics without knowing where to start. Because robotics is still an emerging discipline, educators often struggle to find clear examples and beginner-friendly tutorials. Additionally, many online examples are application- or hardware-specific and require prior knowledge or dependencies that may be outside your learning objectives.
To ensure the greatest success for Synthiam’s education partners, we assign an associate to understand your goals and requirements. This makes it easy to find relevant examples and tutorials without disrupting your classroom activities.
For example, you may need sample projects for implementing a navigation solution as part of a volume subscription. Your Synthiam associate will help locate the appropriate documentation and tutorials on Synthiam’s website. If suitable tutorials do not exist, our team may create them, as our content is shaped by ongoing collaboration with educators.
If you’d like to speak with an associate, let us know and we’ll help you accelerate your organization’s STEM and robotics programs.
