In 2014, Prince George’s County Public Schools adopted Science Techbook for their middle school students because they saw its unique potential to drive student curiosity and success. They have since expanded their adoption to K-5, supported by Discovery Education Experience and its expansive library of engaging resources and STEM career connections, to build a seamless, engaging science learning experience that starts in PreK. Watch what district leaders and educators at PGCPS have to say about Science Techbook and how it impacts their students.

Science Techbook has allowed us to address some challenges both from a teacher standpoint and from a student standpoint. . . Students are studying, developing models, and writing about it. Teachers are more comfortable with the diversity of resources they have and can differentiate and scaffold materials to meet all learners. So, it addresses the notion of equity and access for all learners . . . it's a game changer.
