First Grade Lego Engineers

First grade engineers got creative with the Lego Wedo kits this spring.  In Mrs. Coyle's science classes, our first grade students were put into groups and each group got to choose to build one of three animals.  After successfully showing their engineering skills by building their animals, each group got to try their hand at programming the movements of their animals. They showed their technology competence by getting their animals to move.  The students enjoyed this STEM activity.  They were able to start a project, make decisions as a group, work together, and successfully see their project finished.
