Students will use LEGO sets at school during STEM activities. There are many benefits to building with LEGO bricks! Concentration is required as students build projects. Students will not even realize they are using so much brainpower! In addition, their brains will be trained to see things in a new way. If one way doesn't work, then there's another way to try it. For students who have a difficult time relaxing, LEGO sets will encourage them to wind down their brains, which can release serotonin, a great hormone that gives a feeling of happiness.
