My Project

My students love creating beautiful Lego sets while learning STEM skills, collaboration, and communication.

My students are so proud when they complete a beautiful Lego set and then put it on display in the library!

Once the Monet Bridge over Water Lillies and the Flower Wall sets are complete, they will be displayed at the entrance of the library along with beautiful Lego art of Mona Lisa and the World Map. Everyone who enters the library will be greeted by these beautiful and creative sets.

The smaller sets will allow some of our younger students to experience the thrill of finishing a Lego set and putting it on display for classmates to see each time they come to the library.

Lego is turning our library into a more beautiful and fun place of learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
