Merge 3D Wins Tech & Learning’s Best of Show Award at ISTE 2026!

The all-new Merge 3D has been recognized as a Tech & Learning Best of Show Award winner at ISTE 2026—an honor that celebrates the most innovative education technologies showcased at the conference. The awards recognize products that demonstrate exceptional potential to positively impact teaching and learning, with winners selected by a panel of experienced educators and editors who evaluate products both through submissions and on the show floor.

For our team, this award is especially meaningful because it comes just days after introducing Merge 3D to thousands of educators at ISTE in Orlando. Seeing the excitement at our booth throughout the week was already an incredible experience. Receiving this recognition from one of education’s most respected publications makes it even more special.

Built for Today’s Classrooms

Merge has always believed that students learn best when they can interact with ideas—not just read about them.

With Merge 3D, we’ve taken that vision even further.

The New Merge.

Introducing the all-new Merge 3D, made for the web.

The new web-based platform makes it easier than ever for schools to bring interactive 3D learning and student creation into the classroom. Because it runs directly in a web browser, educators can spend less time managing apps and more time teaching, while students can quickly begin exploring, creating, and sharing immersive 3D experiences.

Whether students are investigating scientific phenomena, examining detailed digital teaching aids, or showcasing their own 3D creations, Merge 3D helps make learning more interactive, collaborative, and engaging.

An Award That Belongs to Our Community

While we’re honored to receive this recognition, we know this achievement wouldn’t be possible without the incredible educators who inspire us every day.

Teachers, librarians, STEM coordinators, instructional technology specialists, and district leaders continually challenge us to build better tools for classrooms. Every conversation, classroom visit, conference session, and piece of feedback helps shape the future of Merge.

This award belongs just as much to our educator community as it does to our team.

Thank you for believing in hands-on learning.

Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Thank you for showing us what’s possible when students are given opportunities to explore, create, and innovate.

Thank You to Everyone Who Visited Us at ISTE

We also want to thank everyone who stopped by Booth #2824 during ISTE 2026.

Watching educators experience Merge 3D for the first time, seeing classrooms imagined through new interaction modes, and hearing discussions about future-ready learning reminded us why we love what we do. The excitement, thoughtful questions, classroom stories, and enthusiastic feedback throughout the conference reinforced that educators are looking for technology that empowers students—not just to consume content, but to become creators.

That vision is exactly what Merge 3D was designed to support.

This Is Just the Beginning

Winning Tech & Learning’s Best of Show Award is an incredible milestone, but it’s also the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Our team is already hard at work adding new features, expanding classroom resources, and continuing to build a platform that helps students visualize, create, collaborate, and discover in ways that simply weren’t possible before.

We’re excited to continue this journey alongside the educators who inspire us every day. To everyone who has supported Merge over the years—and to everyone who joined us as we introduced Merge 3D at ISTE—thank you.

We can’t wait to show you what’s next.
