We've had a fun start to Idea Lab in 2nd Grade! We created a LEGO Maze with legos and a marble for a fellow classmate to solve. The maze had to have a start/finish, a successful path, and obstacles to maneuver. See mazes in action below.
We also each designed a mini Lego Bot Prototype that is like ourselves and different than ourselves in many ways. Students presented their Bots to the class explaining the similarities and differences as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the Bot.
Students have seemed excited and happy to return to Idea Lab this school year. This is wonderful to see! We have a change in our unit plans,
and we are going to take a pause from LEGOS for a bit to explore the continent of South America and project-based learning centered around the Amazon Rainforest.

*We will begin our FIRST Lego League unit, SUPERPOWERED, during the 2nd quarter as our competition will take place in early February at Reed Elementary.
