Simple Machines - Teacher Workshop 2017

LEGO Education Simple Machines enables elementary students to discover how the real world works. Students get an in-depth understanding of mechanical and structural principles built into everyday machines. By building, designing, and testing solutions, students work as young scientists and engineers, all while honing design technology, science, and math skills. We support teachers by providing easy-to-use, age appropriate, hands-on materials along with guided lessons that meet technology and science standards.
