Course Description

Our Little Lego Engineers program focuses on supporting students in becoming creative, active, and collaborative learners. In this course, students will create projects that build and extend on one another, learn how to improve and refine their designs, and work collaboratively in building challenges. Students will also learn basic physics and engineering principles and apply them to various projects, such as building structures and simple machines. This course provides an opportunity for students to engage in formal discussions with their peers in which they explain the engineering process and describe the inspiration for their designs.
