BrickLAB Famous Architecture
I recently took the Famous Architecture BrickLAB kit to a professional development training for K-6 teachers. Even though the kit is specifically developed for a "camp-like" setting we are using the kit in our 14 rural library branches programming and as an outreach program to schools in our service area. The teachers participated as if they were the students and were excited about the possibility of incorporating kit into classroom. They loved the hands-on aspect for the kids and could see the extension possibilities for curriculum within the classroom. During the summer the kits will be used as part of our Maker Monday STEAM at the library. I have no doubt the kids will be thrilled!
