"They're like Legos, but with magnets!"
A common statement made about the cubelets.
One of the most rewarding things about being a teacher is having the chance to give my students the opportunities I wish I had when I was their age.
The bell rings, signaling the start of another day in the bustling science classroom. As students filter in, I greet them with a warm smile and a quick science joke. Today's lesson is on mechanical engineering, and I've planned a hands-on activity using Legos, laptops and their engineering notebooks.
As the students begin to work, I circulate around the room, offering guidance and answering questions. One student is particularly excited about the possibilities when it comes to robotics. I love when my enthusiasm rubs off on my students.
After the activity, we gather together to share our creations and discuss their code along with the lesson we just learned. A few students volunteer to present their DIY robots and I encourage them to use descriptive language and scientific terms. As they speak, I can see their confidence growing.
The day ends with a quick science quiz in the form of a wrap up to assess their understanding. As I collect the materials, I feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that I've helped to spark a love of science in these young minds.
