Many schools across the UK already value the benefits that LEGO Technic can bring to subjects like Design & Technology, Science and Maths. Its mechanical functions make useful and fun tools to use as a demonstration, inspire pupils to engage in these and other subjects and providing opportunities for pupils to combine creativity with learning.
Pupils will be chanllenged to create a vehicle that can
carry people. Whether it's a space rocket, a fairground ride, a new
form of public transport or an entirely imaginary vehicle, the sky is
the limit! All they need is to apply their imaginations and get creative. Pupils will upload all entries to the popular
Pizco website to show off their creations.
• Fit easily within the KS2 curriculum (7-11 years),
so there is no extra work in entering – downloadable lesson plans are provided.
• Excite young people about design, construction,
robotics, electronics, mechanics and engineering – or just have fun creating their amazing machines.
• Provide an ideal activity for class, clubs, homework,
lunchtime or even rainy days
