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

By using LEGO in the classroom, students can engage in hands-on, experiential learning that inspires creativity and fosters critical Using LEGO in the classroom can provide practical applications for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) concepts, making these subjects more accessible and fun for students.

Successfully completing a LEGO project can boost students' confidence and self-esteem, encouraging them to take on more challenges

Overall, incorporating LEGO into classroom activities can promote a wide range of skills and provide an enjoyable and effective way for students to learn, create and grow!
