Thank You for an Incredible ISTE 2026!
To everyone who visited our booth, attended a session featuring Merge, scheduled a demo, shared ideas, or simply introduced yourselves—thank you.
As another unforgettable ISTE conference comes to a close, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every educator, administrator, technology leader, partner, and friend who stopped by Merge Booth #2824. Whether you came to see the all-new Merge 3D platform for the first time, picked up a pair of Merge 3D Glasses, or simply stopped by to say hello, you helped make ISTE 2026 one of our favorite conferences yet!!
Merge EDU
There’s nothing better than spending a week surrounded by passionate educators who are excited about creating meaningful learning experiences for students. The conversations we had throughout the conference continue to inspire us and reinforce why we build tools that help students learn, create, and innovate through hands-on digital experiences.
Introducing the All-New Merge 3D
ISTE 2026 marked the official introduction of the all-new web-based Merge 3D platform, and the response was amazing!
Attendees experienced firsthand how Merge 3D makes it easier than ever to explore interactive STEM and science concepts while also giving students powerful new tools to become creators themselves. Educators loved seeing how students can now create, generate, edit, build and share their own digital 3D experiences with Merge!
From AR visualization on the Merge Cube to exciting new interaction modes and future-ready creation tools, it was so exciting watching educators discover new possibilities for hands-on learning and creation for their students.
Learning From Incredible Educators
One of the highlights of every ISTE conference is seeing innovative educators share how they’re transforming classrooms.
A huge thank you to our friends and presenters who showcased Merge throughout the week, including Shannon Miller, Dr. Rachelle Dene Poth, Jaime Donally, Patti Duncan, and Leslie Fisher. Their sessions demonstrated creative, practical ways to blend emerging technologies with meaningful instruction while keeping students at the center of learning.
From discussions about balancing AI and hands-on learning, to inspiring examples of student creativity, to engaging lessons that combine augmented reality with inquiry-based instruction, these sessions perfectly reflected what Merge is all about: giving educators tools that make abstract concepts tangible and empower students to explore, discover, and create.
We’re incredibly grateful to each of these educators for sharing their expertise and for continuing to inspire classrooms around the world!
So Many Great Conversations
Our favorite part of ISTE is the people!! Over three incredible days, we had the opportunity to meet educators representing schools, districts, libraries, makerspaces, universities, and educational organizations from across the globe. We heard inspiring stories about how Merge is already being used to visualize complex science concepts, enhance STEM programs, support makerspaces, and give students opportunities to create their own digital content.
We also received valuable feedback about where immersive learning is headed next, and those conversations will continue to shape the future of Merge 3D.
Thank you to everyone who shared classroom success stories, asked thoughtful questions, demonstrated student projects, or simply spent a few minutes talking with our team. Those moments are what make conferences like ISTE so meaningful.
What’s Next?
While ISTE may be over, we’re just getting started.
The excitement surrounding Merge 3D has energized our entire team, and we can’t wait to continue rolling out new features, new classroom resources, and even more opportunities for students to learn through interactive 3D experiences.
If we met at ISTE and you’d like to continue the conversation, we’d love to hear from you! Whether you’re ready to bring Merge 3D to your classroom, exploring options for your district, or simply interested in learning more, we’re here to help.
