STEM with LEGOs for Littles! #2

Help me give my students LEGO - DUPLO Creative Brick Sets to explore imaginative play.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hurst's classroom raised $994

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My younger students love engineering with LEGOS, but the classic smaller LEGOs are extremely difficult for them to use since they are still developing their fine motor skills. These large DUPLO LEGOS are the perfect solution for littles!

We will use this donation of DUPLO LEGOs for various engineering challenges where students engage in the engineering and design process to creatively build items like bridges, towers, and habitats.

I have seen how LEGOs and STEM improve learning in the classroom and cannot wait to see the love for engineering and design flourish.
