Success StoryMaster Builders Afterschool SPIN Club



Master Builders Afterschool SPIN Club

Author: Molly Jordan

Planning Unit: Bracken County CES

Major Program: Science, Engineering, and Technology

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

The Master Builder Aferschool SPIN Club has brought many things to the Bracken County 4-H Program. Not only has this club brought several new faces to 4-H it also engages participants in ways other clubs cannot. The use of Legos in educational settings enriches students in various ways, fostering creativity, collaboration, problem-solving skills, and a passion for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects. Lego activities are hands-on and provide a tangible way for students to understand abstract concepts. Through the process of building, students can grasp fundamental principles in physics, geometry, and engineering. In summary, utilizing Legos as an educational tool has a multifaceted impact on students. It nurtures creativity, promotes hands-on learning, encourages collaboration, enhances problem-solving skills, introduces engineering concepts, incorporates technology, creates an inclusive learning environment, and instills life skills and emotional intelligence.
