SAM Labs STEAM Lesson Plans seamlessly connect software and hardware to support STEAM learning in the classroom. Spanning across many subjects, SAM Labs makes coding accessible, experimental, interactive and fun.
​
By focusing on hands-on creativity and problem-solving, SAM Labs STEAM lesson plans create a totally immersive experience to engage students with the coding skills that are critical for their futures.
​
Students can use SAM Labs to design, write and debug programs, applying sequencing, selection and iteration. Students will use logical reasoning to write and code algorithms, incorporating variables, inputs and outputs. Using the SAM blocks and SAM Studio app, students will learn to control and simulate physical systems.

SAM Studio App
SAM Studio is a web-based platform that educators and students can use to access both SAM Space and SAM Blockly (previously Google Workbench). With your favorite coding features from both platforms, but now backed by the dependable power of web-browser access, SAM Studio is an easily accessible and frictionless coding platform for all school districts.
SAM Space
A flow-based coding app which focuses on visual representations of algorithms. The app is designed to be an entry point for students to learn coding and computational thinking and is utilized in the STEAM course and Creators STEAM Kit lesson plans.
SAM Blockly
Previously known as Google Workbench, SAM Blockly is a block-based coding, a drag-and-drop coding language represented by blocks. This platform is used in the Learn to Code and the Creators Coding Kit lesson plans and can be found inside SAM Studio.
