LEGO® Education have a wide range of physical and digital educational resources that encourage students to think creatively, reason systematically and release their potential to shape their own futures.

These are based on the LEGO® system for playful learning combined with curriculum-relevant material and digital resources.

Expanding the knowledge and building academic and 21st century skills will create active, collaborative, lifelong learners. Together with educators, we aim to enable every student to succeed in education and be prepared for future life challenges.
They take a unique approach to learning founded on a “4C” framework through which students are free to experiment and explore as they gain new knowledge. Students are encouraged collaborate as they work through open-ended tasks and extension ideas, facilitated and guided at all times by you, their teacher.
The four phases are:
- Connect: the topic or task is introduced, allowing students to ask clarifying questions and build on their existing knowledge.
- Construct: every task includes a building activity to promote experimentation with collaboration and construct artefacts that can be recalled later.
- Contemplate: students consider what has been learned and share insights with each other.
- Continue: every task ends with a new task that builds on what has just been learned, keeping students motivated and curious.
