Using LEGO and STEM materials in the classroom will light their imagination up! Give my students the chance to use LEGO sets and STEM materials to create, model and engineer a variety of projects while building fine motor/gross motor skills, critical thinking, problem-solving and social-emotion. Let's Engineer with LEGO Bricks and STEM materials! My goal as a teacher is to teach my students to think, and believe they can be or do whatever they choose. I will use the LEGO DUPLO, the STEM materials and puzzles, in centers, where my students will learn to work together, will solve problems, will make decisions, will compromise and help each other through play.
