Project Goal

My goal is to build a lego wall in the media center and engage students in design and critical thinking challenges.

How Project Benefits Students

Once the lego wall is built, students will have access to it for years to come. They will be able to develop critical thinking skills through design challenges, teamwork skills by working together to build things, conflict resolution skills, and so much more. It will even be a place where students can decompress and work on social and emotion learning.

Expected Outcome(s)

Our students will learn and work together while building and solving real-world problems. It will impact our entire campus of 500 students.
