My Project

Our high school media center is a favorite place for students to come study and relax. Many of our students spend a lot of time focused on their academic work and need to give their brains a break every once and awhile. We have a Brain Break Zone that provides puzzles, games, and LEGO sets for students to enjoy. We even have a table dedicated to LEGO, and they love to work on new LEGO sets!

There are LEGO sets in this project that are also buildings/monuments that our students learn about in their history classes.

Not only will these provide a constructive way for students to destress and refocus, but they will also be used by our teachers as models for students to reference during lessons.

These LEGO sets can also be broken down and reused from year to year, providing options to add to our Brain Break Zone in the media center.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
