For teachers, it offers a glimpse into how LEGO bricks can be used to boost learning across literacy, math, science, and engineering. For students, the 72 colorful basic bricks can be used as a hands-on tool to experience, explore and solve a variety of activities.
Two Lego Story Starter kits are available for small groups, each kit has enough materials for 4-5 students to work together on creative writing and language arts skills.
Using a variety of creative writing templates, the accompanying StoryVisualizer software helps students to document and share their stories.
