- Designed to give educators a taste of what it’s like to use LEGO bricks in your classroom, LearnToLearn provides an ideal introduction to the world of LEGO Education elementary solutions. 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.
The StoryStarter Core Set consists of 1,144 carefully selected LEGO elements, including: characters, animals, accessories, icons, basic bricks and building plates for creating up to five story scenes.
Also included are the elements to build a Spinner and four motive cards that can affect the outcome of a story. Students use the spinner and cards when they are in need of a creative boost.
