They got so good at building the Lego lessons that they could finish more than one in an hour, take it apart, and rebuild something else. They had fun making a Ferris wheel, a helicopter, and many other creations. They became skilled at controlling the light box and changing the speed and direction of movement. \r\n\r\nYour kindness in funding this project is deeply appreciated. The real-life programming these students can complete after working with these materials will be something they can transfer to other programming activities. That's the magic of Lego programming materials. Students are in charge of their learning, and they are excited to share their learning with their peers. \r\n\r\nI love seeing my students as experts. It is wonderful when they own their learning and share their learning with their peers. Thank you for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1742320987253,"projectUrl":"project/building-and-coding-for-super-students/9133582/","projectTitle":"Building and Coding for Super Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Calvert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4423774_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1497495502691","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lisa-williscalvert"},{"teacherId":4423774,"projectId":8451256,"letterContent":"The impact of our Lego Learning materials has been dynamic.
