Like most projects that hope to create or innovate a new product, it's important to plan and create a model of what the finished product should look like. Having a fully accessible playground means there will be extensive planning, creating and redesigning of the finished result, in order to achieve our goal. This being, we want all students to access a play structure with no limitations and one that creates limitless opportunities to learn and grow. Accessibility is a right, not a privilege. With our completed protype of our playground constructed out of Legos, we can show our students, faculty, and possible investors what real outdoor play is. We can show everyone the importance of equal access. Using LEGOS helps us shape and build any structure, block by block. This type of modeling will help bring a real-world sense as to what the real playground will look like. Lastly, we hope that our real playground will lead to students climbing, jumping, learning, and flat out having fun with no limitations. We want our students to develop a mindset that aids them in understanding that it is their right to have equal access to this world as much as the next guy. if given the opportunity to use LEGO products, my students will be able to create a real-life model of this new incredible playground. They too will grow in learning about architecture, building fundamentals, and how ideas blossom into reality. My students will learn the importance and the reality of building and designing a piece of construction. This Architecture kit will alow limitless ways to construct and design the best and most suitable playground for all our kids' needs, and maximize accessibility around the board.
