Meet the Teacher Award 2018 Winners
The LEGO® Education Teacher Award is a celebration of innovative teachers from around the world who use LEGO bricks for STEM education in classroom. To enter, teachers have to show how they’ve used LEGO® bricks to enhance their lessons. The more creative, inventive and inspiring, the better!
Teachers whose entries were chosen were invited to present their work at the LEGO Education Symposium at Tufts University in Boston, MA, on 5-7 June, 2018. The 2018 Tufts STEM Education Conference is held in conjunction with the LEGO Education Symposium. Winners attended both events and were able to share innovative practices in a dedicated session and network with like-minded teachers.
The entry process for the Teacher Award 2019 will start in early 2019.
