In addition to computer learning, our school's new Super Lab features a Maker Space where students are able to participate in all aspects of design, from questioning and research, to development, to exhibiting their finished product. So far, the space consists primarily of "found" materials such as recycled containers and cardboard scraps, along with a few thrift-store finds. I'd like to bring more technology into this part of the lab.
With these Lego kits, students will get hands-on experience in the engineering process. Two kits for Simple and Powered Machines, plus an add-on hydraulics kit, will allow small groups of students to work together to explore, engineer and perhaps, even develop a design of the future.
