Third graders at Jack Jackter Intermediate School recently completed the “Home At Last” lesson as part of our LEGO Education technology program trial! Students collaborated, problem solved, and used creativity and critical thinking skills as they designed and built with LEGO materials in a fun, hands-on learning environment.

We look forward to expanding this interactive approach to technology classes for all three grade levels next year!
