Help me give my students an opportunity to use a familiar tool (LEGOs) to explore science/technology tasks and explore the field of engineering.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Avalos's classroom raised $836
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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.
My Project
These items will provide an opportunity for my students to explore science and technology areas of study. My students will apply math/problem-solving concepts, as well as, develop teamwork skills.
These tools will be used in the class BUT students can use these skills lifelong.
For example, students will be given a task to build a given object from LEGO bricks, as a team. Then, design improvements to objects or other tasks of similar rigor. My goal is to hopefully have students experience creative design as well as general construction.
Overall, my goal is to have students create, work together, and grow from the experiences our design teams are tasked with.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
