Idea Lab Update: 2nd & 3rd Grade

Students are reimagining the future of energy.  They are learning about energy sources, storage, and consumption with our First Lego League unit.  They are utilizing divergent thinking by constructing their own energy sources, storage systems, and consumers all with Lego pieces.  
They are also utilizing convergent thinking by using step-by-step model directions and learning to code/program our Legos with special battery-powered motors and sensors.  
The students have created solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric dams, biomass energy farms, and much more.  We think you will be impressed with their ingenuity.  

We hope you will save the date so that every student in 2nd and 3rd grade will be able to join us on February 4th.  

Thank you to Mel's mom for talking with 3Ja and 3P about her job relating to the use of energy consumption.  
If you know anyone in the field of energy that would be willing to come and talk to our class, please let me know.  We would love to have them.  
More information to come closer to the date...
We are very excited about this opportunity.  

Thank you!
