Multisensory Learning
The Merge Cube enables a multisensory learning experience unlike any other. Now students can engage with digital content naturally and intuitively using visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile senses, for more memorable and impactful learning.
Develop Spatial Abilities
With the Merge Cube your students will exercise spatial intelligence by manipulating and inspecting digital 3D objects. Students with strong spatial abilities excel in STEM fields, allowing them to go further.
3D Creation and Printing
The Merge Cube works with 3D creation software like Paint 3D and Tinkercad. Now you can hold your 3D design in your hand or preview your creation before 3D printing, allowing faster design iteration and easier collaboration.
Interactive Learning Experiences
Students can explore a galaxy in the palm of their hand, hold fossils and ancient artifacts, explore a DNA molecule, investigate the Earth’s core, dissect a virtual frog, hold their own 3D creations and more in the palm of their hand.
Project-Based Learning
Merge EDU also offers STEM Projects created by innovative educators, with easy-to-follow instructions that take students through the engineering design process.

It’s so fun when the students take technology and turn it into something they’re passionate about.
Today, @mergeedu Halo Globe #VR was used as a platform for this 3rd grader to do just that. 🙌🏻 pic.twitter.com/fgc9feSmQY
