For the students in Grade 1 and 2 at Memorial School Legos become more than just a toy. Students here use these
familiar tools to learn about engineering and teamwork. The Lego Engineering
curriculum begins in first grade when students are introduced to the
engineering process and use this knowledge to construct a sturdy wall, chair
and program a motorized car. This knowledge is then applied in 2nd grade where students learn basic
programming sentences to move their car forward, backward and at different
times and speeds. They are given challenges to move their car specified
distances at varied times and speeds all well developing their math, science
and technology skills.
