POWERUP partners with the Douglas Stewart Company
The Douglas Stewart Company is now distributing POWERUP Toys’ flagship paper airplane motors as part of its new STEAM collection
Tel Aviv, Israel (May 9, 2019) – The traditional paper airplane lesson has remained a staple in classrooms for years as it teaches students the principles of aeronautics and physics, and gives them a chance to flex their creativity and problem-solving skills. To bring an edtech-focused iteration of the lesson to more classrooms, POWERUP Toys, the creator of the first smartphone-controlled paper airplane motor kit, has forged a new partnership with The Douglas Stewart Company, the largest education-focused distributor in North America.
“By using our products to lead powered paper airplane design lessons, teachers are helping students learn about aeronautics and physics while they experiment with the design process,” said Shai Goitein, CEO and Founder of POWERUP Toys. “Partnering with The Douglas Stewart Company, and having access to their long-term relationships with resellers in the education technology industry, will help us expand our footprint and vision to more students.”
POWERUP Toys’ flagship products – the POWERUP 2.0 Electric Paper Airplane Kit, POWERUP 3.0 Smartphone-Controlled Paper Airplane Conversion Kits, as well as their POWERUP 3.0 Spare Parts Kit – are part of The Douglas Stewart Company’s growing collection of STEAM products. The POWERUP 2.0 Kit comes in a classroom pack of 24 and the POWERUP 3.0 Kit comes in a classroom pack of four. These powerful STEAM products will be on display at ISTE 2019 in Philadelphia from June 24-26, 2019 in the POWERUP Toys booth, #363.
“The Douglas Stewart Company is excited to be partnering with POWERUP Toys to bring their unique and fun products to our network of STEAM-focused education resellers,” said Sarah Segrest, business development manager at The Douglas Stewart Company. “Using powered paper airplanes to teach students about the fundamentals of aeronautics and to help them build innovation and creativity skills is a fantastic way to spark interest and engagement. Through this partnership, we’re able to bring POWERUP’s solution to the education reseller channel and expand the awareness of POWERUP as a great component of a complete STEAM solution.”
