“The products nominated for the Best of Show program, provide an outstanding overview of new technology on the show floor and shine a spotlight on the products, and businesses behind them, who are transforming education in schools around the world,” said the awards editorial team.
“We’re honored to receive the Tech & Learning Best of Show Award at ISTELive 2026 for Seeker. There’s no shortage of ways for students to interact with technology, but most of it is passive. Seeker flips that. Kids aren’t consuming technology, they’re programming it, adapting it, and thinking about how it can be used for good. That’s the coding education conversation we should be having, and we’re grateful to see Seeker recognized for pushing it forward,” Matt Frankenbery, Pitsco Education CEO, shared about this recent recognition.
