How will this affect the original intent of the afternoon class for 11 and up? Well my first plan is to group kids by age groups so older kids will be with older kids. Depending on the level of experience for each group, I may have the older kids build slightly more difficult models and work on more different scenarios for their simple machines. That means more, "What happens if...." "Can you build a car that..." They will have more open ended questions for their builds. Finally we'll all come together for snacks and team building.
This blog is about all things LEGO®, Mindstorms & teaching kids to learn and be curious about the world around them & become good problem solvers. I'll be writing about classes, camps & tournaments such as Junior FIRST LEGO League, FIRST LEGO League and FIRST Tech Challenge.
