(PreK-K) LEGO STEAM Park and Coding Express
The STEAM Park unit allows students explore the world around them as they use functional elements to build interactive models. The lessons provide opportunities for students to think like scientists as they build models, and experiment and test ideas to answer questions. Throughout their learning, strategic questions will also guide students to apply science, technology, engineering, art, and math skills. Most importantly, the lessons will help students to become problem-solvers by enhancing their creativity, collaboration, and communication skills.
The Coding Express unit uses a relevant theme that naturally incorporates early coding skills. Throughout the unit, students will intuitively use computational thinking to develop designs and express ideas as they build a train and tracks, and position action bricks to affect the train’s behavior. The lessons also provide fun and engaging opportunities for students to explore early coding-related concepts and think like digital age learners as they build train tracks of various shapes. Most importantly, the lessons will help students to become problem-solvers by enhancing their creativity, collaboration, and communication skills.
