I am one of the coaches for our homeschool co-op’s Junior Lego League.
At one time I wasn’t sure if we would have enough participants for one team, but because of God’s hand in our co-op we soon found ourselves with two teams!
We are spending the first 3 weeks learning about simple machines and working on team building exercises before moving on to our challenge.
I am just amazed at what great learning tools Legos are. The teaching manuals and activity pages make it easy to teach with very little advance preparation required.
If you have a homeschool group I highly recommend using Lego Education kits for a co-op class or group activity.
Kits we use:
WeDo Robotics
Early Simple Machines
Wheels and Axles
Pulleys
Levers
Gears
