LEGO Engineering Studio: Expert Encounters
Class experience
Do you have what it takes to design your own LEGO set? In this two-week class, we will analyze how LEGO designers go about designing new sets through discussion. Our first class meeting is dedicated to discussing the engineering design process. Additionally, we will investigate how LEGO designers combine old set details and refresh previously released designs. Our second class meeting is devoted to learners sharing their original designs in class. Learners should plan on working on their...
In this class, students will grow in their abilities to: -- Identify components of an engineering design process -- Critique engineering design projects -- Work on an independent design project -- Share their design rationale with others -- Use LEGO pieces in creative ways
I'm a mechanical engineer and engineering educator; I love empowering learners to bring their ideas to life!
Homework Offered
Learners will be expected to work on an individual LEGO project between classes. They will receive feedback during our second class.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class

1 file available upon enrollmentLearners will need LEGO bricks and plates to build their project between classes. The teacher will provide a design log to help students brainstorm and document their project. Learners can also prepare a photo essay or a video to describe their project.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
This class is best for self-directed learners with the discipline to work on a LEGO project in between classes.
