Team project-based learning
Team project-based learning
Team projects expose students to team dynamics, deadlines and problem-solving techniques, all aspects employees deal with in the workforce.
Companies and communities rely on teamwork to achieve success, and they are seeking graduates who can work successfully on a team. Projects that are extended in duration offer a better vehicle and provide a richer context in which subject matter can be learned and practiced. Team project-based learning challenges students to put knowledge into practice and exposes them to team dynamics, deadlines and problem-solving. Students have defined jobs and roles that are relevant in related career fields.
Some examples of Team projects include:
Tomorrow’s innovators practice imaginative thinking and teamwork. Guided by two or more adult Coaches, FIRST LEGO League* teams (up to 10 members, grades 4-8**) research a real-world problem such as food safety, recycling, energy, etc., and are challenged to develop a solution. They also must design, build, program a robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS®, then compete on a table-top playing field.
It’s never too early to discover STEM. FIRST LEGO League Jr.* is designed to introduce STEM concepts to kids ages 6 to 10 while exciting them through a brand they know and love − LEGO®.
Guided by two or more adult Coaches, teams (up to 6 members, grades K-4) explore a real-world scientific problem such as food safety, recycling, energy, etc. Then they create a Show Me poster that illustrates their journey of discovery and introduces their team. They also construct a motorized model of what they learned using LEGO elements. In the process, teams learn about teamwork, the wonders of science and technology, and the FIRST LEGO League Jr. Core Values, which include respect, sharing, and critical thinking. At the close of each season, teams come together on a regional basis to share their Show Me poster and model, celebrate, and have fun!
