My Project

This past summer, I was introduced to the wondrous world of LEGO. I had always had an interest in LEGO but after building my first real set, it was like a whole new world opened up for me! I immediately knew that I wanted to share this newfound hobby with others, and I can't think of anyone better than my students!

This year, I have decided to sponsor an after school LEGO club for the middle schoolers!

My goal for this first year is to help them unleash their creativity as they discover the endless things that can be created with LEGOs. We'll be starting small, tackling some Lego engineering challenges, and then moving on to small sets before working together to build a grand set at the end of the school year.

The materials in this project will give us what we need for our first few meetings, which is simply a ton of LEGOs and books with ideas to get us started. Thank you in advance for your contribution!
