AGIS Conference 2024 Potsdam

This interactive workshop is designed to equip early years and elementary educators with the tools and knowledge to implement the FIRST LEGO League program in their classrooms. Participants will engage in hands-on activities using LEGO kits to explore the fundamentals of this globally recognized STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) initiative. Through collaborative play and creative storytelling, educators will discover innovative methods to inspire their students' curiosity, enhance problem-solving skills, and foster teamwork.

The session will begin with a brief overview of the FIRST LEGO League programs, highlighting its objectives and impact on young learners' development. Teachers will then participate in a guided LEGO building activity, demonstrating how to incorporate narrative techniques to make STEM concepts accessible and engaging for children. The facilitator will offer strategies for integrating these activities into the curriculum, addressing classroom management, and assessing students' learning in a fun and inclusive environment.
