Students will use self-guided tutorials as needed to help them feel comfortable using LEGO Education Spike essential. They will be given coding block tutorials for basic coding concepts and as they feel more comfortable, they will be able to begin developing their engineering design skills as they investigate problems, brainstorm solutions, and build, test, and refine their prototypes. By the end of the week, students will be able to refine their problem- solving skills as they create a solution to a problem that has constraints, and improve on others' ideas. So, come along with us as we investigate, design, build, and code using hands-on, playful learning!.
