As soon as the materials arrived, the students were eager to dive in and set to work immediately. We have been using these sets as a hands-on tool for our STEM learning. For our first major project, students worked in small groups to design and build structures. It was a highlight of the week.\r\n\r\nThe atmosphere in the room when the students first saw the colorful boxes was one of pure joy. There were audible gasps and cheers! Since then, the \"fun\" factor has translated directly into skill-building. I have seen my students practice being collaborative and carefully reading directions to ensure their builds work correctly. Most importantly, they are taking creative risks by deviating from the manuals to invent their own unique designs.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for the tools our students are using to build their confidence and their futures!","fullyFundedDate":1776106656887,"projectUrl":"project/learning-stem-skills-through-lego-builds/10062596/","projectTitle":"Learning STEM Skills through LEGO Builds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Becker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6409524"},{"teacherId":3857618,"projectId":10057027,"letterContent":"Thank you all so much for your belief and support in this project!
