This week 1st graders enjoyed their first STEAM lesson using our news Lego Science kits. Through this activity students had to work together to build a model "skateboard" on a rocky road. After seeing what happened to their rider, they had to work together to create a solution to keep their rider safe on the skateboard. Enjoy a glimpse at these little engineers at work!
