BUILD Day Field Trip🌉

In February, students put their engineering skills to the test during the Bridges 101 BUILD Day, a two-day in-school field trip put on by Builder Bunch! 🚀

Working in small groups, students learned about the structure of a bridge and how to build pillars out of LEGO bricks. They were preparing for the ultimate challenge: building the strongest LEGO bridge! 🏗️🔧 With teamwork, patience, and lots of trial and error, each group worked to construct their own bridges, aiming for strength and stability.

Students had the opportunity to experience hands-on engineering while also developing critical problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity skills. It was an exciting and engaging way to bring STEM learning to life!

Great job to all our young engineers!
