LEARNING STEM WITH LEGO® TOYS
Are Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics really hard for kids to learn? The long answer is No – the shortest answer is to learn through PLAY.
Scroll down to find out how you can help your child – and maybe yourself, too - get excited about STEM with LEGO® sets from DUPLO® to LEGO BOOST and MINDSTORMS®.
What is STEM and why are LEGO STEM Toys Fun for Kids?
For most of us, fields in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics are either wildly exciting and inspiring or extremely daunting concepts that may be difficult to relate to. They often get a reputation as the “hard” sciences. Hard, both as in difficult to grasp and learn, but also with a reputation of being rigid, leaving very little, if any, room for creativity or imagination.

Did you know that something as relatively simple as playing counting games with your toddler can spark their passion for STEM? Learning about numbers and basic math this way can help develop their observational and analytical skills in any field. How many dots are on a lady bug? How many toes do I have?
Another simple play activity that is universally popular with toddlers from any culture all over the world is “How many (insert favorite toys here) can I stack on top of each other before they fall over?” There’s your child’s first lesson in the law of gravity!

How do Primary School kids Learn About STEM?
Ages 7-12: Primary school kids often love taking things apart to see how they work. They’re naturally talented at asking themselves and others “what happens if…?” because they’re not limited by grown-ups’ logic or experience with how things work. They love experimenting - trying out baking skills, learning to play an instrument or trying to build the fastest toy car. You may not think about it, but those are all exciting ways they learn about STEM. Constructing and taking things apart – that’s engineering right there! Kids can develop math skills when they learn to follow simple recipes. Music notes are a form of code they learn to decipher – a skill that can even be used when learning other languages as well!
STEM for Middle School and Older Kids - 10+
Older kids will love to use their more advanced analytical skills (and, of course, longer attention span) for more complex STEM challenges. The more they learn, the more questions will also arise. Whether your child is passionately pursuing video games, sports, science, arts and crafts, something completely different or all of the above, encourage them to persist and ask them questions like “how did you learn about this?” or “what do you want to try next?” Everything from creative arts to rocket science uses technology in various forms today. We can’t predict exactly what skills and qualities our kids – and we - will benefit from in the future. STEM toys can help your child
