The colorful and versatile blocks quickly became a favorite activity during free play and learning centers. Students began to show increased engagement during STEM lessons, eagerly using the blocks to build models that represented scientific concepts or solved engineering challenges. I observed greater collaboration and creativity as students discussed strategies, shared ideas, and constructed intricate designs together. Their problem-solving skills also improved, with many students learning to revise and improve their structures when they didn't work as expected.\r\n\r\nBeyond academic benefits, the new building blocks helped enhance classroom dynamics and fostered a sense of community. Quieter students found a way to participate by contributing to group builds, gaining confidence in a non-verbal, hands-on setting. The blocks also encouraged turn-taking and respectful communication, as students negotiated space and design roles. Some students even began leading mini-projects, helping to boost their leadership and communication skills. Overall, the addition of the building blocks created a more interactive and inclusive learning environment that supported growth across multiple areas.","fullyFundedDate":1742931695491,"projectUrl":"project/bricks-of-innovation-and-design-draw-m/9195037/","projectTitle":"Bricks of Innovation and Design - Draw Minecraft and Hands-On Design","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dominguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8024122"},{"teacherId":8024122,"projectId":8922546,"letterContent":"This donation has opened my students eyes to the larger world.

We have printed dinosaurs, and anatomy of the hands. We are also learning to design our own Lego figures.
