My Project

This LEGO project seeks funding to implement a LEGO-based STEAM learning initiative that engages students in creative problem-solving, design thinking, and collaborative exploration. By combining LEGO kits with guided STEAM challenges, this program will empower learners to build, test, and reflect on real-world solutions.

Today’s students need more than passive instruction to become tomorrow’s innovators.

However, we lack the tools to provide interactive, student-centered learning that connects science, technology, engineering, art, and math. LEGO bricks are a proven, low-barrier tool for helping students visualize complex systems, engineer functional designs, and creatively express ideas. This project will particularly benefit students with diverse learning needs, as well as under-resourced classrooms seeking high-impact, hands-on STEAM enrichment.
