LEGO Education
Join us at the LEGO Education Maker's Station Mini-Strand
LEGO® Education’s overall ambition is to future-proof students and inspire them to become confident lifelong learners. If we meet each student where they are, challenge them appropriately, and allow them meaningful failures, they’ll ultimately succeed.
With LEGO Education learning experiences in your expanded learning programs, students become increasingly sophisticated in their ability to apply transferable STEAM, Literacy, and Numeracy practices to solving real-world problems in the regular school day and beyond.
The LEGO Education Maker's Station Mini-Strand is a hands-on exploration of learning, research, and possibilities. Done at your own pace you can even earn some fun LEGO swag!!! Jump in any time during the sessions and come back, again and again, to complete as many tasks as you can.

Think Together
BUILDING CAPACITY IN EXPANDED LEARNING WITH ELOP FUNDING
With the increase in ELOP funding, how do we build capacity in the field to close opportunity gaps? As we see an increase of funding in the field, our efforts to work towards educational equity as partners and providers in the educational space has great potential! One of Think Together's biggest goals with this new funding is to challenge ourselves to build our capacity and ability to support marginalized communities by investing in individuals as we strive to change the odds for all students.
