October 2023 - The Most Bewitching Month of All
We're excited to announce the release of Collaborative Station, our newest and greatest station yet! It's a place where students can work together to create collaborative, real-time design solutions with their teams.
๐ Showstopper Halloween Mission
To test out Collaborative Station, we put our students to the challenge of creating a Halloween costume for RALF. The results were nothing short of spectacular! We saw purple furry bots, swaying palm trees, purple dragons and even green goblins.

The creativity and imagination that our students showed in the Halloween mission were truly impressive. And we're even more excited to see what they'll create using Collaborative Station in the future.
In addition to being a blast, the Halloween mission was also a great success academically.
- More than 70 schoolsghoulishly participated.
- 120+ teacherslaunched the mission with a coven of enthusiasm.
- Over 4,000 studentshelped create a fangtastic new customer for Ralf.
- The Showstopper mission was flown more times than you can count
We received overwhelmingly positive feedback from teachers and students alike. Hurry and check out the Winning Costumes here.
๐ Collaborative Station fixes

We're also excited to report that we've fixed a number of bugs on Collaborative Station that were reported by users. So now, you and your students can enjoy all of the amazing features without any interruptions (or at least we think). The list is so long that it couldn't fit into this email, so if you are curious about those changes, just ask us.
โพ๏ธ Student Count for All Classes

Counting students can be a daunting task, especially if you have a large class. But don't worry, we're here to help! With our new update (and some fancy code), you can now count your students in the blink of an eye. That's right, we said the blink of an eye. Our program is so accurate, you won't even have time to say "boo!" (And that's especially fitting for this time of year, don't you think?)
๐ฏ Other Exciting Updates
