My Project
Eighth grade is a frustrating time for students! Fitting in, looking for freedoms, mood swings---8th grade is tough. Too old to be in elementary school, they are still too young to fit in at high school.
Kids (and adults) are, however, never too young or too old to engage with LEGO's!
Combining colorful LEGO building elements, easy-to-use hardware, and an intuitive drag-and-drop coding language based on Scratch, LEGO SPIKE Prime continuously engages students. Playful learning activities encourages students to think critically and solve complex problems, analyze data, and create solutions for complex problems regardless of their learning level. Students will also be able to explore text-based coding with Python, learn essential STEAM skills and become innovators, all while having fun!
Through "play" students will build confidence, resilience, and skills that are vital to their future success.
