Introducing the New CTL J41 Chromebook
Lightweight and responsive, the  CTL J41 Chromebook is an ideal solution for the classroom.

Equipped with Intel's new Apollo Lake N3350 processor and 4GB of DR4 RAM, the J41 has the power and responsiveness to handle all the classroom tasks thrown at it. And with a battery that lasts up to 10
hours, students can work the entire school day on a single charge, minimizing classroom disruptions.

Designed with students in mind, the CTL J41 has a 180-degree hinge to protect it from hinge and LCD panel breakage. With a spill resistant keyboard, liquid spills are channeled away from internal hardware, further protecting your investment from accidental damage.

Additionally, the CTL J41 provides plenty of device connectivity along with fast charge capability with two USB Type-C ports, two standard USB 3.0 ports, one Micro SD port and a combo audio jack with HD web Camera, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0, providing plenty of connectivity options and fast charge technology.

In addition to exceptional internal specification and outstanding build quality, the CTL J41 comes with CTL's Fast Track Service for Education Customers. The Fast Track Service Program is a customer focused service offering for qualified education organizations. The service offering contains:
  • Dedicated Chrome Specialists - CTL's team of Chrome specialists are available to answer all questions regarding Chrome

STEM Showcase & Events
Bringing STEM to the Elementary Classroom
Troxell helps schools provide collaborative learning environments where students can gather to create, design, invent, tinker, explore and discover.
Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs have taken root in the classroom of tomorrow, particularly with a federal mandate to increase students' STEM competency. 

Makerspaces add another dimension to students' learning experiences by emphasizing creation and creativity through "doing." Digital fabrication and robotics may happily coexist with cardboard construction and woodworking. By tinkering, experimenting, playing, and collaborating, students learn critical entrepreneurial skills needed to design tomorrow's products and processes.

Come see a wide range of tools, activities, and materials tools found in these makerspaces and STEM/Makerspace programs-such as robotics, virtual and augmented reality, creative and design apps, 3D printing, digital microscopes, electronic building blocks, and more-inspire team building and teach STEM competencies from early childhood to adulthood.
