Constructing a More Benevolent Globe: The Lego Build the Change Campaign
In an exciting development, Pine Tree Junior High has partnered with Take Action Global and the LEGO Group to bring the Lego Build the Change Institutes to life. This innovative programme encourages students to use Lego bricks to design solutions for real-world problems, often focusing on sustainability and innovation.
Heather Brantley, the CTE Digital Communications Specialist at Pine Tree Junior High, has been recognised for her role in this initiative. Tech & Learning recently awarded her the Innovative Leader Award for the Innovative STEM Program. Her dedication and vision have played a significant role in bringing the Lego Build the Change Initiative to Pine Tree Junior High.
With five of the 25 participating school seats allocated to Pine Tree Junior High this year, the school becomes the first district to participate on such a scale. Brantley encourages teachers to consider expanding the programme to reach more schools and districts, fostering a global impact.
The Lego Build the Change Initiative sparks student interest in providing solutions to real-world problems. Students are given the opportunity to choose from a list of challenges, such as designing sustainable schools. This hands-on approach not only engages students but also empowers them to feel more involved in the world around them.
Take Action Global, a partner in this initiative, looks for ways to find solutions for climate problems through play. The Lego Build the Change Institutes allow students to create solutions to real-world problems in innovative ways, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills.
