These really help to keep the students organized and it makes them so they can find everything efficiently.

The students were so engaged and love everything about Lego Robotics. They really had to work together and think critically to complete projects. They loved the chance to also extend the activities and add new Legos and program new moves. This was great for those little learners that think outside the box. We were even allowed to have some students teach others when they expanded the project.\r\n I want to thank you so much for making an impact in my class.

I quickly opened them so they could see what was inside. I knew we had to charge the hubs before we could use them, but let them all have a turn seeing what was inside the box. It was so cute to see them handle the Legos so carefully.\r\n The next day, I set aside the afternoon to use the kit. After they had time to play with the Legos for a bit, I gave them instructions on how to use the program. I was amazed at how quickly they picked it up. Since they were highly motivated, they paid attention and carefully followed the directions. They were able to build their first project in the amusement park unit.\r\n We can't thank you enough for giving us this opportunity to learn robotics in such a fun way that is appropriate to their age group. We will be rotating the kits between four classrooms. The children ask every morning if we are going to be using the Legos that day. We certainly have some future robotics engineers in the making.
