Course Description

Lego Lab is a STEAM class teaching basic computer literacy with hands-on weekly challenges in class involving designing solutions to problems and coding the design. During class students will be given opportunities to work in collaborative teams as they learn various computer skills, coding reasoning, problem solving skills, and communication skills.
