Maryville\u2019s Center for Access and Achievement<\/a>. With the LEGO Foundation funding, Maryville will create math and science connections to playgrounds, including coaching students to create new or improved playground equipment using building sets and makerspace materials.<\/p>\nPlans also call for creating life-size prototype equipment using ideas from the participating students. Maryville will partner with The Magic House, St. Louis Children\u2019s Museum to bring these prototypes to life. Examples include installing speed sensors on an existing slide or building a seesaw that is adjustable to weight differences.<\/p>\n
The goal remains to facilitate student learning while also allowing teachers to explore more invigorating ways to engage students in science and math learning. This draws upon Maryville\u2019s existing TEM Education Certificate that provides hands-on learning experiences to integrate science, technology, engineering and math into classrooms. Maryville now boasts 55 STEM Champion teachers across partner districts who have completed the certificate program.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are at a transformational moment for educational systems everywhere. This donation builds on the LEGO Foundation\u2019s core values of finding creative solutions to the difficult challenges, caring for children and the communities we live in, and the power of collaboration to address the challenges, and opportunities, posed by the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d said Anne-Birgitte Albrectsen, chief executive officer for the LEGO Foundation. \u201cTogether we need to make a leap in playful learning, creating a future that promotes inclusive education, lifelong learning opportunities for all children, and where holistic skills and innovation are central.\u201d<\/p>\n
91制片厂 Tufts\u2019 Center for Engineering Education and Outreach<\/strong>
\nTufts’ Center for Engineering Education and Outreach is an interdisciplinary center dedicated to creating the next generation of problem solvers, kindergarten through college, through engineering education. Housed within Tufts University’s School of Engineering, Tufts CEEO is home to students, staff, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty from engineering, education, child development, and computer science who collaborate on educational research and educational tool and technology development. Working to bridge the divide between research and practice, Tufts CEEO\u2019s outreach team works to transform research into programs and resources that can be used by stakeholders and provide continuous feedback to researchers. Partnerships with global corporations and foundations help to further disseminate knowledge and tools generated at the center.<\/p>\n91制片厂 the LEGO Foundation<\/strong>
