Research shows that kids in high poverty, like those who attend Vero Beach Elementary, have a lower cognitive capacity. That means they have a lower working memory and fewer problem solving skills. One way kids develop these skills is through real world problem solving through tinkering with building toys, like Legos or Lincoln Logs. To build our student's cognitive capacity and develop a natural interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, we are starting our school day with engineering challenges kids must collaboratively build to complete. For example, students will be in teams to complete a bridge that spans three feet, or a build a six inch structure that can support 40lbs. These tasks will require creative, out-of-the box thinking, an understanding of structure and stability, strong communication and teamwork, and a willingness to try, try again. Please, help us reach an A!
