LEGO is NOT a toy company 🤯 LEGO Education is a huge part of their educational initiatives that now span across elementary school kids. LEGO is an educational company! ➡️ It may be one of the most aggressive, impactful and quiet change makers in global education. The LEGO Group has successfully created and infact closed an entire STEM learning ecosystem wherein a child begins his learning journey with their physical pieces and moves on to learn more concept with it through the high school. 👩🏫 Infact, there are professional courses being offered to educators to learn more about using LEGO in classrooms. Imagine a school of LEGO lessons, who knows it could be a reality soon 🤩 The company says the lessons are aligned to learning standards, linked to computer skills and core science learning objectives. - sourced from Forbes. #lego #legomindstorms #playbasedlearning #logolearn the LEGO Group LEGO Education

Is 'Lego coding' just a toy, or the future of education? 🤔💻 If you're looking for a fun and effective way to teach engineering and problem-solving skills to children, look no further than LEGO! 🧱 LEGO, originally created by Ole Kirk Christiansen in Denmark, has become a global phenomenon in learning and development. Here's why LEGO is such a powerful tool in education: • It engages children in "learning through play," fostering creativity and cognitive development, making it the ideal companion for learning coding and robotics. • Through building and constructing models, children learn fundamental engineering principles. • LEGO can be a gateway to STEM education, sparking interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from an early age. • It provides a hands-on learning experience, making complex concepts more accessible and enjoyable. Have you seen the widespread adoption of LEGO in classrooms around the world? #education #learningthroughplay #engineering #problem-solving #STEM

Exploring Programming and Creativity with LEGO SPIKE Recently, I had an amazing time with my child, building and programming a game using the LEGO SPIKE kit. This experience not only brought us closer but also opened up numerous opportunities for developing various skills in my child. What We Did: Together, we assembled a complex LEGO structure and programmed it to create an interactive game. This process involved both physical construction and writing code to control the game. Skills Developed in Children: 1. Programming: Children learn the basics of coding, logic, and algorithms, which are essential skills in today’s world. 2. Creativity: Creating unique structures and games stimulates imagination and creative thinking. 3. Problem-Solving: Throughout the building and programming process, children encounter various challenges that teach them to find solutions and overcome obstacles. 4. Technical Skills: Working with LEGO SPIKE enhances understanding of mechanics, electronics, and robotics. 5. Teamwork: Collaborating on a project strengthens communication and cooperation skills. 6. Self-Confidence: Successfully completing a project boosts self-esteem and confidence in their abilities. This experience highlighted the importance of involving children in projects that develop their skills and prepare them for future challenges. I highly recommend all parents try something similar with their children! #LEGO #LEGOEducation #Programming #CreativeLearning #Robotics #ChildDevelopment #Teamwork #TechSkills #Innovation #LearningThroughPlay #FamilyTime

Great article to help me think more deeply about STEM education. The myth I've always had about STEM education is that the word science covers a much broader spectrum than technology, engineering, and math, such as the question posed in the article: are social and political sciences considered science? But if you look at it from the point of view of developing competence rather than imparting knowledge, teaching children the scientific way of thinking and the resilience needed behind the learning of science can be beneficial to their careers in any of these fields. Similarly, incorporating art into the system will incorporate the child's orientation towards more competencies such as creativity, etc. STEM education is not only the education of knowledge, it is also the education of competence and thinking method.

Build Some New Friends! Project Bucephalus Robo Club, Wollongong Would you like to find out how to build a LEGO® model that can move, speak and think by itself? Would you like to discover a fun way to learn about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math? Do you have a school or community group interested in a robotics program and/or entering a team in the FLL? The Project Bucephalus Robo Club is a robotics program for children aged 7+. It is suitable for both Primary and High-School age children, and uses LEGO® robotics technology to provide an introduction to robotics! In Robo Club classes, students learn how to design, build, and program their own robots. Project Bucephalus team members will pass on their skills in teamwork, lateral thinking, and having FUN! The Robo Club curriculum contains lessons and games designed to develop robotics, engineering, and programming skills. Catering to both beginner and advanced students, activities are mixed between single-week challenges and multi-week projects. The occasional competition is thrown in for good measure (Robot Sumo is a favourite!). Note on FLL: One of the primary goals of the Robo Club program is to encourage students to form teams and participate in the FIRST® LEGO® League tournament. The 2024 season opens in ? August 2024. FLL (FIRST Lego League) participation is limited to students 9-16 and is NOT compulsory. FLL teams are welcome to use Robo Club time to work on the FLL, but normal classes will continue during the FLL season. Spaces are limited, and enrolment is essential. https://lnkd.in/gXbrTZUN

EF Academy Pasadena began classes again today for the 2nd semester of our 2nd year, what we like to call "Version 2.1". There is no greater thrill than leading a team of educators who are passionate about continuous improvement and eager to embrace innovation - all in service of our fabulous students. As a community we are finding it helpful to map our school's journey by distinguishing innovation from iteration. Innovation calls for new schedules, alternative staffing models, systems change, and programmatic initiatives to better align to best practice or shifting institutional priorities. Iteration describes making collaborative, data-informed improvements to existing programs, structures, or systems. Our Version 2.0 was innovation heavy as we adopted a new schedule, shifted our pedagogical focus to PBL, launched our field study initiative and outdoor education program, developed 4 design labs, introduced 24/7 wellness programming, and grew co-curriculars through varsity sports, robotics, and theater arts! It has been a big lift! As a school we will spend the spring semester determining the shape of our Version 3.0 iterations - growth in a different direction next year!

As educators, we have the responsibility to prepare students for a future that is increasingly driven by technology. Introducing elementary students to coding isn’t just about learning a skill, it’s about fostering problem-solving abilities, creativity, and resilience. Platforms like Scratch or Spike and Lego EV3 make coding accessible to young learners, encouraging them to build projects while having fun. Incorporating coding into the curriculum at an early age helps demystify the technology that surrounds them. It also empowers students to become creators of technology, not just consumers. Watching a child light up when they’ve successfully programmed their first animation is a powerful reminder of how capable they are, even at a young age. How are you incorporating coding or other digital literacy skills into your classroom? #CodingForKids #FutureSkills #STEMEducation
