Brains & Motion Education (BAM!), a leader in enriching K-12 education through innovative programs, is excited to announce a partnership with Unruly Splats, a provider of cross-curricular STEM and computer science enrichment designed to make learning more active and engaging. This collaboration will bring a new level of interactive STEM education to students across the nation. Working together, BAM! and Unruly Splats blend physical activity with STEM concepts to keep kids moving while they learn.

A Dynamic Collaboration for Hands-On Learning


Brains & Motion Education is committed to providing children with an engaging learning experience that promotes both academic success and social-emotional growth. Partnering with Unruly Splats introduces an innovative approach to STEAM education, combining physical activity with technology to engage students in a fun, energetic learning environment.

“At Unruly Studios, we believe learning should be authentically fun and that kids need more time to be kids: to play actively and to use their creativity to invent,” stated Bryanne Leeming, CEO of Unruly Studios. “Our collaboration with Brains & Motion brings a unique opportunity for students to experience hands-on coding, music-making, and interactive math in a way that encourages both physical activity and teamwork. We are thrilled to begin this strong partnership!”


Why This Partnership Matters

This partnership is about much more than computer skills. It’s about getting kids moving, encouraging collaboration, and providing learning that is fun, dynamic, and interactive.

Unruly Splats compliments BAM!’s hands-on, project-based curriculum, all to the student’s benefit!


  1. Increased engagement

  2. Enhanced teamwork and collaboration

  3. Physical activity during learning

In BAM! programs, students aren’t just sitting at their desks; they are up, moving, and staying active, boosting not only their physical health but also their focus and cognitive abilities. When students are engaged in activity, they learn without it feeling like learning.

That’s what makes Unruly Splats such a powerful enrichment tool. Integrating technology, physical movement, and collaboration gives students an exciting way to grasp critical STEAM concepts, all while having fun.

Innovative Programs to Energize Students

The combination of BAM!’s commitment to hands-on learning and Unruly Splats’ playful technology provides a comprehensive program that sparks curiosity and encourages creative problem-solving.

Students can easily code Splats through guided lessons, explore their own creative projects, and stay engaged in learning through play. BAM! is proud to team up with Unruly Splats to bring the following experience to your students!
