AV and Creative Technology for Schools
Modern education is about more than textbooks. It is about giving students the tools to create, collaborate, and communicate their ideas effectively. And the right technology builds the bridge between imagination and a final product.
Maze Education provides reliable AV and creative hardware that integrates directly with the software your school already uses. We help you build a complete creative studio, from podcasting and animation to interactive whole-class instruction.
​Classroom Podcasting Solutions
Podcasting gives students a practical platform to develop communication skills. It teaches scripting, public speaking, interviewing, and audio editing. Our classroom podcasting solutions provide everything you need to get started.
Podcasting Equipment:
We offer complete kits that include high quality microphones, audio cables, and simple mixers. These tools are durable for classroom use and designed for clear voice capture.
​
The Purple Mash Connection:
Our podcasting kits are designed to work with 2Cast, the podcasting program within Purple Mash. Students can record their audio using our hardware, then import it directly into 2Cast to edit, add music, and publish their work.
Animation Hardware for Visual Storytelling
Animation makes storytelling visible and interactive. It teaches planning, patience, and visual design principles. We provide the essential hardware to turn your classroom into a simple animation studio.
​
Lightboxes for 2D Animation
Our slim, bright lightboxes are suited for traditional hand-drawn animation. Students can easily trace frames to create fluid movement, learning the core principles of animation in a hands-on way.
​
Webcams for Stop Motion
​A simple webcam is an effective tool for stop-motion projects. Students can capture frames of clay models, drawings, or objects to create their own short films. The Purple Mash Connection: These tools are the hardware companions for 2Animate, Purple Mash's animation software. Students can create drawings on a lightbox, capture the frames with a webcam, and then import the images into 2Animate to sequence them and complete their film.
Interactive Boards for the Classroom
Interactive boards can be the centerpiece of a connected classroom. They help make any lesson a more dynamic and engaging experience for the entire class.
Whole-Class Engagement:
An interactive board makes learning a shared activity. Teachers can lead lessons, students can demonstrate their understanding, and groups can collaborate on projects in real time on a large, central screen.
​
The Purple Mash Connection:
An interactive board acts as a central hub for your classroom. It can make every tool in Purple Mash more engaging. You can lead activities in 2Code, annotate texts in 2Publish, or brainstorm ideas on a shared digital canvas.
