Leggo Engineering
Leggos are are great way to learn the mechanics of engineering. The students learned to design and build working objects that used gears, motors, or a combination of both. The Leggo company has many great kits available from beginner to advanced designs along with the lesson curriculum that makes these great educational science lessons.

My daughter loves legos, I knew they had sets specific to building structures or models, but I didn't know they had sets that enabled gears and electrical movement. Where did you find these kits? I would love to purchase some for my daughter to play and create with! Very cool activity and wonderful pictures, the students look like they are truly having fun, being industrious, and learning at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI will look up my material on this a get a web site for you. Students of any age go crazy for this type of learning!!
DeleteI like you ideas John! Our oldest son was fascinated with Lego's, tinker toys, erector sets and the like when he was a child. I often remember thinking he would be a building designer or the like one day. After four years of college with a degree in Communication he veered completely away from the field and for the past five years has been in the building design business. He is now a general contractor with his own business and he helps redesign homes or businesses that have been damaged by mold, smoke, fire, water, etc. Lego's were a great lead into that field!
ReplyDeleteThat's the great thing about Legos, the stimulate the mind and allow the hands to express what's in the mind.
