January TAG challenge submissions

Our challenge for the month of January was the 100 Lego Challenge.  In this challenge, students were tasked with first selecting 100 lego and THEN selecting a challenge to create using only those 100 legos.  Students were asked to select from:

• A working candy dispenser
• A biome of their choice
• Their school mascot

Because teachers can modify the challenge to meet the needs of all students, some may have elected to create their own ideas for the creation.

When asked about the most fun part of completing the challenge, students responded:

• Playing with legos (it’s been awhile!)
• Picking out the 100 legos
• Using our imagination
• Getting to see the final result
• It was challenging but fun; I didn’t think I would be able to make something so cool!
• Stepping out of our comfort zone and participating in something we couldn’t prepare for

Challenges they reported facing were:

• Using all 100 legos
• Building it with only the pieces we chose
• Deciding what to do with the last few pieces
• Trying to make something with exactly 100 pieces
• Not knowing what we were going to do with the Legos.
• Snow days interrupted our meeting time.
