My Project

In a 4th-grade classroom, utilizing the Lego Coding Express to simulate environmental conservation scenarios in a town or city can be an engaging and educational experience.

By incorporating this hands-on tool, students can explore various conservation methods while actively participating in problem-solving and critical-thinking exercises.

For instance, students can use the Lego pieces to construct buildings, roads, and green spaces within their miniature town or city. They can then program the Coding Express train to navigate through these environments, encountering obstacles such as pollution, deforestation, or waste accumulation along the way. Through experimentation and iteration, students can employ coding commands to address these challenges, such as rerouting the train to avoid polluted areas or implementing recycling stations to reduce waste. By immersing themselves in these interactive scenarios, students gain a deeper understanding of environmental issues and the importance of sustainable practices, while also honing their coding skills in a meaningful context.
