Today’s elementary students are tomorrow’s creative problem-solvers. I want to equip my students with the necessary STEM (Science, Technology and Math) knowledge and skills to be innovative and imaginative thinkers. Legos make STEM concepts tangible by taking teaching out of the textbooks and putting it into the hands of my students. I want to create a better understanding of STEM subjects while building 21st-century skills. I want to provide my students with resources to tap into their creative abilities without using using an iPad or Chromebook. Much of our world now is focused on "screen time". I see a need to have students work together, use manipulatives and create based on the knowledge, passion and desire they have.
