We call it the 4C approach: Connect, Construct, Contemplate and Continue. 1 CONNECT 4 CONTINUE Extension ideas that present a new challenge within the same theme are provided. Students are encouraged to change or add features to their models, thereby leading them to a new Connect phase. This allows them to enter a positive learning spiral, in which they take on increasingly difficult challenges. It is important to capture students’ interest in order to have a positive and motivating learning environment. LEGO® Education always begins with an engaging challenge introduced through real-life video clips, photos, stories or animations that students can relate to and find compelling. 2 CONSTRUCT 3 CONTEMPLATE Students think about what they have just constructed and achieved. They discuss the project at hand, reflect on and adapt their ideas, and teachers can encourage this process by asking questions. 8 ducklearning.com Students work in teams to solve an open-ended building task related to the challenge. They make their own solutions, then plan, build and test their models or software programmes. is LEGO® Education th MoreToMaths ts ing ies MoreToMath 1-2 from LEGO® Education is a hands-on educational tool for 1st and 2nd grade for teaching mathematical problem solving bridging to math facts.

The Innovation Lab provides a unique ‘hands-on, minds-on’ environment that supports and enriches the entire learning process. It’s an innovative way of both learning and teaching – one that will stimulate your students, motivate your teachers and enhance the wider academic reputation of your school. Research has shown that when we allow children to use multiple senses during the learning process, they have better chances of fully understanding and remembering what they have learned. We believe that more playful, creative and hands-on methods engage students of all abilities to achieve results. While this lends itself to the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) – a more progressive approach can be successfully applied to all curriculum subjects, including literacy.

FLL® is a partnership between the non-profit organisation FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and the LEGO® Group. It had its first season in 1998. Now over 230,000 students from 80 countries take part. Impact studies show that students gain an increased interest in science and technology by working with FLL®. FLL® does this by providing a practical and engaging way of involving students in the subject areas. FIRST® LEGO® League Junior Junior FIRST® LEGO® League (JFLL), like the FLL, captures students’ curiosity and directs it toward science and technology. It is for children aged 6 to 9. Guided by an adult coach, students get to: • Design and build a Challenge-related LEGO model with motorised parts. • Create a ‘Show Me’ poster. • Present their work at an event to adult volunteer reviewers. Find out how you can get young students hooked on science and technology at FIRSTLEGOLEAGUE.SG 62 ducklearning.com A FIRST® LEGO® League challenge consists of three parts: • A research assignment called ‘The Project’ where students research and come up with innovative ideas for solving a defined, real-world challenge • A ‘Robot Game’ where students design and program a LEGO® MINDSTORMS® robot to solve missions on a special obstacle course • ‘Core Values’, the work process the students go through to obtain important life skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity and teamwork. Find out how to participate in this world-class programme at FIRSTLEGOLEAGUE .SG Robofest STEM Conference Teaching Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in an integrated manner has become essential in today’s learning environment in order to prepare students for the economy of the future.
