My Project

Students will be using these Lego kits to investigate and problem solve different STEAM options within the context of the real world. Students using these kits are special education and have shown a needs for hands on work in and out of the classroom. The goal is to show our students that their disabilities will not limit them when it comes to life outside of school and in the job market.

These specific students have shown a real interest in building and coding which is why these LEGO Spike Sets will be utilized along with our every day curriculum to create multiple opportunities for them to learn.
