The World is Changing
And the landscape of education has to change with it.
The future demands a holistic skillset that prepares students for our fast-developing world while including 21st century skills like:
- Complex problem-solving
- Critical thinking
- Creativity
- Collaboration
- Resilience
“Students need to be prepared for jobs that have not yet been created, for technologies that have not yet been invented, to solve problems that have not yet been anticipated.”
OECD “The Future of Education and Skills 2030”
The Power of Learning Through Play at School
Based on research from the LEGO Foundation, we know that Learning Through Play offers a host of benefits:
- Hands-on learners acquire knowledge through experience rather than abstraction, helping with better retention.
- Meaningful, joyful activities nurture curiosity and stimulate creativity.
- Engaged, hands-on learners perform better across STEAM subject matters.
Collaboration with Departments of Education
We have been supporting Departments of Education across the world to help them understand the value that Learning Through Play can bring to schools in their country. This has seen LEGO® Education learning solutions selected for country-wide programmes, reaching thousands of classrooms and millions of students.
The most common reasons Departments of Education choose LEGO Education solutions include the high quality of products, ease of use, coverage of core STEAM subject curriculum and teacher support in terms of lesson plans and certified teacher training.
