Open-Ended Student Activity Briefs

Activity Briefs are printable 1-pagers that inspire students with open-ended challenges. They provide snapshots of sample builds and code vs. step-by-step instructions and specific solutions. Designed based on research by the Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach, these activities generate diverse solutions while supporting students and teachers in problem-solving. Learn more about how to facilitate these types of activities in this blog series: https://community.legoeducation.com/spark-creativity.
