I always appreciate being able to easily find science based career information without having to put something together myself, and Learning Blade gives students the chance to explore multiple career options, including paths for students who may be more interested in trade school as well as those considering college.
Loveland Middle School, Loveland, Ohio
Teachers are highly focused on using resources that align directly to their academic standards. Learning Blade allows educators to start with their next one to three standards and immediately connect those to ready-to-use lessons, making integration into existing courses practical and effective. This standards-based approach supports implementation in areas such as middle school business and entrepreneurship and allows us to pilot the platform with a specific grade level or department before scaling.
Indian Hill Middle School, Cincinnati, Ohio
In our programming, we’re intentionally building students’ career awareness and professional and technical skills through career-connected learning, things like action plan projects where students identify a real community need and create solutions, plus industry tours and workforce exposure. What stood out about Learning Blade is how it can strengthen that pipeline with engaging, career-connected content, especially in the middle school space where I’m lacking the most, and even help us meet that middle ground across areas like biotech, computer science, and manufacturing.
Sinclair Community College, Dayton, Ohio
The Hack Attack Mission is fantastic. The kids just want to game and get around our firewalls, and the Hack Attack Mission has been perfect to explain why they should not be trying to get around the firewalls.
Centerville City School District, Ohio
What really stands out is how Learning Blade is already broken down and organized for educators. So many of our schools are trying to build career exploration programs, but the constant challenge is that their efforts don’t always come together in a cohesive way. With Learning Blade, it feels like you can simply hand it to teachers and say, “here’s what to do”, and they can implement it right away. I also love that it’s cross-curricular. Students can experience the same concept across subjects and start to connect everything together.
