Lego Education Launches New STEAM Product
Who doesn't love LEGOs? Well LEGO is getting even better because LEGO Education is introducing a new line of products, STEAM Learning! Although this product is labeled preschool, it is very appropriate for kindergarten students at well.
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) is a growing movement in education globally, and it isn't just a buzz word. STEAM, taught well, includes integration of subjects to deepen meaning and increase engagement. STEAM inspires students to be creative and critical thinkers; explorers of new ideas.
Many products available on the market are very specific and do not allow for multiple solutions. Because teachers have asked for more materials that encourage the open-ended thinking that STEAM awards, LEGO Education has listened and developed a great line of LEGO's that will allow children to be inquisitive investigators, to solve problems, manipulate, experiment with cause and effect, and be scaffold into a love for creation and engineering.
