My Project
We are a high school special education program hoping to build up our STEM program through beginner LEGO robotics.
The LEGO mechanical sets would be an amazing tool for students with disabilities to develop skills in every area of STEM.
We want to develop students’ cognitive and motor skills. These sets will allow us to work with our hands, while problem solving. Teamwork will also be a great focus.
These skills will assist them as they move forward into adult independent or group home living.
We would greatly appreciate any help you could provide. Thank you. - Mr. Brian
