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.
LEGO Smart Creativity Contest Entry By Lara Chartier, Homeschool
Use any 10 LEGO bricks from the LEGO Smart Kit. Child A creates something on a paper plate. Passes it to child B to study for 1 minute. Child A is given back the plate and Child B is asked to turn around. While Child B is not looking, Child A will remove one brick from his creation. When complete, Child A will hand the plate back to Child B. Child B must figure out which block is missing.
