Bringing LEGOs into the classroom for student learning will make a difference by adding new possibilities to hands-on problem solving. One example that integrates the disciplines of STEM and curriculum based inquiry is students engineering a model of an imaginary solid using prior knowledge of polygons, then, defining the properties of the solid as they calculate a mathematical formula or pattern that can be used to create similar solids. Extensions for real world examples with the solid in mind can include architectural design needed to withstand an earthquake, hurricane, or severe windstorm. Bringing LEGOs to the classroom allows students to apply their prior knowledge and express their imagination to solve a problem and learn what works and what needs more thought. Students will have additional hands-on material to practice and apply what they are and have learned to be inspired for continual inquiry to find new answers.
