Challenge Club Students Make Videos with Lego Creations!

3^rd and 4^th graders in Challenge Club spent weeks using the educational software, WeDo, to program and engineer Lego’s to move. Students work in collaborative groups to build a certain type of Lego. So far, students have made a Monkey and a Lion. The Monkey is programmed to “drum” and the Lion to sit back and roar when given a bone.

Within their groups, students use the programming software to make lego’s move and add sound effects and other mechanical features. Once the Lego is built and the students have completed their engineering, they make a video. Miss Kraemer, fifth grade teacher and Challenge Club Advisor, puts the students videos together to create one full video. The videos are available to watch on her website.

3^rd graders Austin Walstrom, Grace Bayerl, and Miranda Mallak work together to build their lego creation.
