The educator-selected recognition highlights DataSnap’s hands-on approach to helping students collect, explore, and analyze real-world data.
EAU CLAIRE, WI — August 28, 2026 — CreXo announced that DataSnap has been named a finalist in the Data Collection and Analysis category of the Educators Pick Best of STEM® 2026 Awards. Selected by educators, the recognition highlights DataSnap’s ability to help students build data literacy skills through hands-on STEM investigations and active exploration.
TheSTEM Awards are evaluated by classroom teachers who assess products for their value and effectiveness in real-world educational settings. Operated in partnership with MCH Strategic Data, the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA), and the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT), the program highlights innovative solutions that support STEM learning and student success.
DataSnap was designed to help students move beyond simply learning about data and instead experience the entire process firsthand. Through engaging investigations and classroom activities, students collect information, visualize results, identify patterns, and use evidence to answer questions and solve problems. They then repeat the activity to challenge findings.
“Being recognized by educators makes this honor especially meaningful,” said Todd Hunter, STEM Product Manager at CreXo. “DataSnap helps students turn curiosity into discovery by giving them hands-on opportunities to collect, explore, and make sense of data. When students actively investigate questions and draw conclusions from real information, STEM learning becomes more engaging, relevant, and memorable.”
Designed specifically for classroom use, DataSnap makes it easier for educators to incorporate authentic data investigations into STEM instruction. Students can actively gather and interpret information rather than relying solely on static examples, helping them better understand how data is used to make informed decisions in both academic and real-world settings.
The recognition reflects CreXo’s broader mission to inspire learners to create, explore, and innovate through hands-on STEM experiences. Across its portfolio of educational solutions spanning robotics, coding, engineering, circuitry, and data analysis, CreXo provides educators with tools, curriculum, and activities that help bring STEM concepts to life.
