Aaron Maurer, the STEM lead for the Mississippi Bend Area Education Agency in Iowa, explained why Lego Education products are useful in getting students to look at real-world problems and imagine how to solve them. Maurer stated, “Our goal is to equip students with the tools and mindset to be successful when it comes to doing hands-on learning and problem-solving connected to the education standards and to bring in real-world problems that help keeps students engaged. Students and teachers are trying to find ways to create engagement and Lego Education’s solutions allow this to happen because they are hands-on, allow for iteration without consequence, and help create a space where all ideas are welcome.”
