LEGO Professional Learning Follow Up LEGO Professional Learning Follow Up

It was inspiring to see how quickly educators turned their learning from the LEGO® 3P (Project, Problem, Place) training into action. Teachers across our region have already brought LEGO® SPIKE™ Essential kits into their classrooms, engaging students in hands-on problem solving connected to real-world and local challenges. From testing ideas and iterating on designs to collaborating and sharing thinking, students are actively applying engineering and computational thinking skills. This is a powerful example of professional learning making an immediate impact—benefiting both educators and students through meaningful, applied STEM learning. Keep sharing photos and stories of implementation!
