LEGO exposes students to basic science and engineering concepts, and an introduction to STEAM at an early age helps students to develop the critical thinking skills needed to excel in STEAM disciplines! Following instructions to assemble Lego also has a lot of benefits for children’s problem solving, focus and attention to detail. Ideas of symmetry, balance, shapes and sizes are explored during play with LEGO. Even with the instructions, children are still free to use their imagination! They may follow instructions and only alter a few parts, which allows for their own ideas to shine! There is always more than 1 solution to a problem, and exploring LEGO can demonstrate the ways to investigate a problem and find possible solutions!
