The issue in my school is students with an extreme diversity of abilities. My proposed solution is to engage students in a cross-curricular, hands-on learning environment using LEGO MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 robotics. Over 100 bright, curious, diverse and innovative middle school students will design, build, program, and test robots to do a variety of tasks. They will learn to control motors and collect data using a variety of sensors and log the results of experiments at up to 1,000 samples per second. EV3 curriculum, including Design Engineering Projects, Space Challenge, and Middle School Science, is based on constructivism. This educational theory states that children learn best when they experience things firsthand and within a meaningful context. The curriculum aligns to national standards, engages students to become more independent learners. The 21st-century skills they will develop include collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. It creates a learning environment that addresses the challenges associated with students with an extreme diversity of abilities. Legos reach students of all backgrounds and abilities; they are universal. Who hasn't watched the face of a child light up when they see a waiting stack of Legos ready for play and adventure to begin. The curriculum’s classroom instruction includes open-ended problem-solving activities designed to make learning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through real-life robotics engaging and fun. Students will demonstrate an increased ability to solve problems and communicate more effectively by applying their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills to address the challenges they encounter through the lessons. Additionally, these experiences will help students better comprehend and apply scientific and technical language. Skill assessment will take place through student presentations and ongoing observation. Our end goal will be to have students form teams and enter in Lego First competitions.
