From Wednesday, January 11 through Friday, January 13, the St. Alphonsus-St. Patrick School cafeteria was transformed into an engineering center. By a joint effort between the school and our Family School Association, all students in grades 1-8 were able to participate in an on-site LEGO engineering field trip. Children worked in teams of two with designated roles as builders and suppliers. The roles were switched with each turn of the page in their instruction “blueprints”. By working together and carefully following the instructions, the students were able to construct either a machine with an electric motor, a carousel, or a collision car depending upon their grade level. Each class had their own dedicated 75 minute session. The children had a great time working collaboratively to create a working mechanical system!
