My Project

The use of LEGOs provide students with the opportunity to learn in a different way and develop fine motor skills. Opportunities such as collaboration, critical thinking, communication, and creativity are offered through the use of LEGOs. As a child builds with Legos, they are using problem solving skills. They have to figure out which blocks work in their building, sometimes using the trial and error method. Planning and organizing are other benefits. Lego building requires the child to have a plan before they build, even if it is only a basic one. They also must organize their thoughts as well as the Lego pieces in order to bring their idea to life.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
