So proud of our 3D printing friends i-SOLIDS that are supporting our medical community and first responders to meet this great challenge. High Fives!

3D printing is in many ways a technical art that can be surprisingly competitive but its been really cool so see how the community has come together in this time of need by sharing designs, combining resources, and encouraging others. Special thanks to @3DHubs @HP @MaterialiseNV @Prusa3d @make4covid #flattenthecurve

What is LEGO® Learning Through Play?
"When children play, they are having fun, experimenting, tinkering, messing around and making mistakes. In other words, they are learning....The process of playing and learning while having fun is a holistic balance of five overlapping competences- creativity, cognitive abilities, emotions, social play and spatial awareness."

We wholeheartedly embrace this way of teaching and strive to provide experiences that will challenge and support our students' development.

The LEGO EV3 Mindstorms system enables our students to create all kinds of robots including designs that "play" music and games. Come PLAY with us this summer: https://www.fllhouston.com/copy-of-2018-camps-2
