BOISE, Idaho, July 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. (PCSV), a leading provider of K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs, announced a strategic alliance with School Specialty, Inc., a leading distributor of supplies, furniture, technology products, supplemental learning products, and curriculum solutions to the education marketplace. School Specialty will feature PCS products in their marketing efforts, beginning with online promotion in 2015.

Michael Brown, Director of Sales at PCS Edventures, said of the relationship, "We are honored and excited to be working with School Specialty and thrilled at the opportunity to bring our leading edge STEM solutions to a much larger sales venue through this alliance. I am currently working with their Vice President of Sales to engage and educate the SSI sales force on the strong value proposition that our products bring to their offerings."

The sales agreement between PCS Edventures and School Specialty involves the addition of 40 PCS products to the School Specialty product lines that include multiple configurations of the PCS Discover Robotics and Programming, Discover Robotics and Physics, Discover Engineering and the PCS 3D Interactive Curriculum (3DIC), and BrickLAB STEM products. PCS will ship orders directly from their fulfillment center and provide training, marketing, and sales support to the School Specialty sales force.
