Power of Hands On Learning to Make LEGO Candy Dispensers

During week 2 of our Purposeful Play with LEGO online course we had a wonderful new challenge emerge. During the podcast episode with LEGO Master Educator, Alisha Bridges, she referenced how her students were making candy dispensers. In that moment I decided to make that a challenge for the group. While this challenge has come and gone, I finally had time to compile what builds from students and teachers from around the world.

I just had to share this video because it proves the power of hands on learning in a classroom. It showcases the genius that sits inside all of us if we create the safe learning conditions to allow creativity to thrive.

Here is the post from week two where we shared the challenge, the podcast, and some of the builds I designed:

But more importantly, check this video out to see what the kids designed. I just love learning from so many amazing people! And if you and your students take on the challenge, be sure to submit your designs on the course page so we others can learn from you!
