PASCO has won another Educators Pick Best of STEM® Award!

The Teich Group and Catapult X announced the winners of the Educators Pick Best of STEM® 2026 Awards, the only awards program judged by science and STEM educators. The winners represent the best STEM education products of 2026, chosen by certified classroom teachers.

PASCO’s Sparkvue® software earned the award for the category “Best of STEM for Data Collection and Analysis” for 2026.

STEM educator judges from across the country evaluated and validated each award entry’s classroom suitability. Award judges have certified that this year’s winners are reliable tools teachers can trust for award-winning STEM curricula, math intervention programs, after-school and out-of-school-time STEM programs, and the latest STEM kits for hands-on learning.

“This year, hands-on learning in science, STEM, and CTE was fiercely competitive. Students are back at the lab bench, and educators are the ones deciding what makes the cut.”

– Daylene Long, founder of the Best of STEM Awards and CEO of Catapult X
