Our third graders have been hard at work on this year’s First LEGO League Explore Unearthed! Over the past several weeks, students have completed Sessions 1 through 8, exploring the life, tools, and discoveries of an archaeologist. Students also learned about and researched other jobs that work alongside archaeologists: anthropologists, geologists, site managers, lab technicians, conservators, and curators.
Each session brought new adventures and hands-on learning opportunities:
Archaeology Adventure – discovering what archaeologists do and why their work matters.
Relic Rescue – exploring how artifacts help tell stories from history. 
Site Surveyors – planning and mapping excavation sites with care and precision.
Dirt Detectives – learning how to carefully uncover clues hidden underground.
Excellent Excavators – designing tools to make excavation efficient and safe.
Signal Seekers – exploring how communication and technology support fieldwork.
History Helpers – reflecting on how preserving history helps future generations learn.
Now, our teams are ready for the next big step! Each group has selected a real-world problem connected to archaeology that they want to explore more deeply. They will:
Research to understand their problem
Build a team model that shows their innovative solution
Design a tri-fold display to share their process and discoveries
Work together to write and present their team presentation
We can’t wait to see the creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills our Idea Lab students bring to their final projects! Stay tuned! You will be invited to see and hear the students' presentations!
