STEPD-UP Educators Launch First FIRST LEGO League in Brentwood

Brentwood is buzzing with excitement as STEPD-UP educators have successfully launched the first-ever FIRST LEGO League in the area! This initiative marks a significant step in bringing STEM education to the forefront, empowering students with critical skills for the future.

Digital Literacy Takes Center Stage

This year's program launch has placed a strong emphasis on digital literacy. Students are not just building with LEGOs; they're learning to code, problem-solve, and collaborate in a digital environment. The FIRST LEGO League challenges students to:

• Design and build LEGO robots.

• Program robots to complete specific missions.

• Conduct research and develop innovative solutions to real-world problems.

Through these activities, students develop essential digital literacy skills, including coding, computational thinking, and data analysis. These skills are crucial for success in today's increasingly digital world.

Looking Ahead: Future Competitions

The excitement doesn't stop here! Next year, Brentwood students and educators will have the opportunity to showcase their talents and compete with other districts. This competition will provide a platform for students to:

• Apply their STEM knowledge and digital literacy skills.

• Collaborate and learn from peers.

• Experience the thrill of competition and celebrate their achievements.

The FIRST LEGO League program is more than just a competition; it's a journey of learning, discovery, and growth. It equips students with the skills and confidence to become future innovators and leaders.
