Are you LEGO® Smart™? Are your students? Being LEGO Smart is more than building with LEGO® bricks. It’s having the ability to work in teams, solve problems, and create solutions. It means understanding key science, technology, engineering, and math concepts – not just on paper, but through demonstration. LEGO Smart students don’t just know it, they DO it. The sets, software, and curriculum designed by LEGO Education harness the power of the LEGO brick and combine to create learning opportunities for students that will help develop the skills needed for a lifetime of creating, solving, and contributing to a global society. Be LEGO Smart – be the future.
How many times have you heard a child say they didn't want to do something because it wasn't any fun?
If you are an educator, especially of preschool or early elementary students, there is a good chance you hear this daily! Learning through playing is not only the preferred method by children, its also the best way to get them to relate to what is being taught.
Play is a key element to a child's growth and development, and play stimulates the imagination, the emergence of ideas, and encourages creative expression. It is LEGO philosophy that "good play" enriches a child's life.
