Lego: Jedi Masters K-5th

Students will not only deepen their Star Wars knowledge to an envious level, they will step into the universe as Jedi, starting out as Younglings and transcending the ranks into Jedi Masters! They will undergo tests and challenges that mimic those of their greatest heroes, all while building their engineering skills, creativity, and testing their communication and teamwork skills. Students will gladly embrace the challenges of organizing group builds, communicating roles, learning from their mistakes and improving their techniques as increasingly complex LEGO build challenges and teamwork activities lay before them. However, the sheer desire to prove they are worthy Jedi will motivate students to show off their skills in ways they might have second guessed, if not for the pressure of saving the Galaxy!
