For children, augmented reality turns an ordinary sandbox into a world full of magic. For teachers, the sandbox boosts the productivity of lessons or therapy with a positive psycho-emotional impact.

UTS Classroom

UTS Classroom is a platform for teachers, who work with our equipment. It makes classes preparation and classroom management easier.

It is an application that transforms iSandBOX into standalone audiovisual interactive educational tool. In simple words, it’s a bunch of pre-made lessons that you can teach with the use of our equipment. 

We offer a complete K-6 course for iSandBOX consisting of 25 NGSS- and CA-SEL-aligned lessons. The lessons are focused on two DCIs – Earth and Space Science and Life Science.

The lessons are aimed at developing the following skills:

  • Asking questions and defining problems
  • Developing models
  • Constructing explanations and designing solutions
  • Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
  • Teamwork

Practical tasks and activities are easy to implement with larger groups of children, so a teacher can easily manage a class as big as 25-30 students.

Competency Matrix

For additional reference, we’ve developed a Competency Matrix for K-6 teachers who use iSandBOX with UTS Classroom software installed on it. 

This matrix will help you smoothly incorporate the use of this device into your lessons to make them more engaging and valuable for your students.  

With the help of this matrix, you will be able to select a suitable ready-made lesson for your students, depending on the current curriculum theme and some competencies your students have not sufficiently developed yet. 

 

36 game modes and thousands
of unique stories

The iSandBOX software ships with 36 edutainment modes: 26 are included in the basic package and 10 modes can be purchased as an option. Use these modes to create different educational and recreational scenarios and let children get immersed in incredible, enthralling stories of your own making.

80 days around the world, we’ll find a pot of gold just sitting where the rainbow’s ending. Time — we’ll fight against the time, and we’ll fly on the white wings of the wind. 80 days around the world, no we won’t say a word before the ship is really back. Round, round, all around the world.

Barnaby The Bear’s my name, never call me Jack or James, I will sing my way to fame, Barnaby the Bear’s my name. Birds taught me to sing, when they took me to their king, first I had to fly, in the sky so high so high, so high so high so high, so — if you want to sing this way, think of what you’d like to say, add a tune and you will see, just how easy it can be.

What our customers say

Eunmi Kim

We are a company that handles geophysical equipment, and we were very interested in iSandBox. I thought it would be a good equipment for geologists or geophysicists in the future by playing in the sand to help them understand the geological field and attract children's interest. I believe the iSandBox equipment will help foster future geological and geophysical researchers.

ISandbox is truly an amazing concept creating the sandbox to come to life and the imagination to run wild with all the different themes and details included in the sandbox. The process of buying one was extremely smooth as everyone was so helpful, full of knowledge and eagerly awaiting to help every step of the way. Kids and adults alike LOVE this product and the detail and imagery is amazing. Can't wait to expose this to as many kids as possible.
