This week in the Eduporium Experiment, we’re delving into the popular engineering packs from PCS Edventures known as BrickLAB. Upon first glance, the components closely resemble LEGO bricks, but after doing some research and exploring, I found out that, while they may look like LEGOs, there is much more academic potential for BrickLAB.
When you think about it, the activities students can take part in using LEGOs are very much in line with current educational standards—especially those that deal with STEM. Now, there’s a new option for teaching engineering in early education. The kits from BrickLAB are packed with legitimate opportunities and now available on our store!
