My Project

I am looking to give my students the opportunity to use a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) learning solution. This activity combines hands-on LEGO building with digital coding experiences, designed to engage students in critical thinking and problem-solving. The Spike Lego Essential box can be used in a small group setting or as an individual. I have one box set currently in my classroom and my students love working with it. It allows them to build and create. I am hoping to get a few more box sets, so more students can be working at a time. We live in Montana and often have indoor recess due to weather. The Lego Spike Essential allows my students to be engaged in an educational learning experience while having fun with LEGOS.
