Legos teach structural engineering skills.
Maria Montessori says, "The human hand allows the mind to reveal itself." Just like in real-life architecture, the child constantly evaluates the strength and durability of the structure as they build.
Is the design wobbly? Where is the best placement for another brick to add support? What size works most effectively without putting the structure off balance? How much weight can the structure hold before buckling?
