My Project

This project is designed for our after-school LEGO club.

These students voluntarily attend the club twice a week for hands-on learning, an interest in engineering, and collaboration with others.

I love that the students come in eager to hear what the building challenge is each week. I am in awe of some of the creative ideas that they come up with. This is a place for students that struggle academically to showcase some of their skills within the school. Some students struggle with what to build and benefit from having a set of instructions guiding them on what to build.
