LEGO Education Workshop

GET UP AND DANCE

Explore how different gears push each other and change the dancers' spinning in a fin dance competition. Students will explore how pushing on nan object can change the speed or direction of it's motion and start or stop its movement. Understand that objects push on one another when they touch and that this can change their motion. Explore how gears of different sizes push each other, which makes them move faster or slower.

RACE CAR

The light changes from red to green and off you go! Did your pit team choose the right wheels? Will your team win? Students will customize a race car to explore different variables, like mass and rolling resistance, to see whose car can go the furthest and record data and use it to make predictions and recognize patterns.

• Grade Level: 3rd Grade

• Duration: 30-45 minutes
• Capacity: 20 students working in groups of 2
• Subjects Covered: STEAM - Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics

BOB SLED (Available Starting February 1, 2024)

The crowd cheers as bobsleds zoom down the ice track! What sets the winner apart? Grab your crash helmet and get ready to ride a bobsled to find out! Students will explore how gravity affects the motion of bobsleds based on mass, observe a pattern and make predictions and understand the difference between mass and volume.

• Grade Level: 3-5 Grade
• Price: $3 per student
• Duration: 30-45 minutes
• Subjects Covered: Science, STEAM

FREE THROW (Available Starting February 1, 2024)

Students will explore the motion of a basketball when scoring a three-point throw and will observe and measure the basketball’s motion to recognize a pattern, record data and make predictions. Will they be able to score a perfect basket every time?

• Grade Level: 3-5 Grade

K - 2nd Grade Workshops

Get up and Dance Push Car Derby

These workshops will give your students an understanding of forces and motion as they plan and conduct investigations about the cause and effect of push and pull forces.  Each workshop will introduce students to the process of asking and answering questions, data analysis, and how to present their ideas. They'll work toward determining whether design solutions work as they were intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.
