BOISE, ID -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 19, 2007 -- PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. (OTCBB : PCSV ) today
announced the official launch of an expanded supplier relationship with

the initial stage in the PCS Edventures Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics (STEM) solution. PCS Edventures' STEM solution is now
being used for teaching students standards-based technology literacy
concepts.
Robert Grover, PCS Executive Vice President, said, "K'NEX Education has
proven itself not only as an outstanding strategic partner, but also as a
reliable supplier of some of the highest quality building manipulatives in
the industry. With the size and scope of our current market expansion, we
need very reliable partners to meet our growing needs. PCS has a great
deal of experience with the numerous manipulative companies on the market,
and we continue to narrow the field in terms of product and partner
quality. K'NEX bricks are outstanding and we look forward to delivering
millions of them into classrooms in the coming years."
