Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our students love having hands-on experiences. They love to get to build and show their creativity through projects that allow them to be individual and kinesthetic. Legos are a great tool for students to build with and have so much flexibility and open-endedness to allow students to explore.

Students need to visualize and use their hands to better enhance their own learning.

These Legos will allow them to build in their STEM classes including their Project Lead the Way course. They can use these in the STEM lab as they problem solve and engineer solutions to real world problems.

They will use these alongside the Lego Spike Prime robots and BricQ forces Legos to enhance their learning and creations through STEM.
