Feb 13 2013: Hello.
I am using LEGO® elements to teach different aspects of STEM to home school students. They have fun building and learn how the model they just built relates to things they have experienced in the real world. If time permits, I challenge them to alter what they have built to create something bigger / more powerful / faster. They have fun and learn at the same time.
