I work with Special Education students who do not have many opportunities to work on engaging, hands-on STEM activities. I have had a lot of success using LEGO bricks in my classroom because of those firsthand experiences students gain while building. The use of LEGO bricks also helps students overcome difficulties and persevere when a first attempt does not work. When using LEGO bricks, my students stay motivated to continue to try and learn rather than give up. They are also able to build and construct their ideas in a way that is meaningful to them. My goal is for my students to become more independent learners and develop 21st-century skills including problem-solving, comprehension, communication, creativity, critical thinking and technology. The goals of this project are for my students to demonstrate an increased ability to comprehend and solve basic problems through the application of science, technology, engineering, and math skills. I believe that these experiences will help my students hone their speaking and listening skills as they present their ideas and collaborate with one another.
