Hands-On STEM Learning: LEGO Spike Robotics for Future Innovators

My Project

The use of LEGO Spike kits and coding lessons will build foundational STEM skills such as using the coding and building that bridges technology, engineering, and mathematics.

The combination of hands-on building, coding, and problem-solving in a team environment will develop students' critical thinking and collaborative skills, which are crucial for success in both academic and real-world contexts.

This program is offered to students who need to build communication skills. The LEGO Essential Spike kits provide a rich, engaging way to support language development while fostering STEM skills. By integrating these kits into the classroom, I can create an interactive, inclusive, and dynamic learning experience for students, helping them grow both academically and linguistically.

I will then be using these kits for STEAM day. The students will be able to offer an enriching experience that challenges gifted learners, helps them build important skills, and fosters their curiosity. By offering opportunities for independent exploration, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving, SPIKE Essential kits can be a valuable tool in a STEAM classroom.
