First LEGO League Explore Expo 2025
Room 10 students had an exciting journey through the First LEGO League Explore program. We discovered the wonders of the ocean by exploring the different layers of the ocean, from sunny surface to the deep, dark sea. Along the way, we built models of submarines and underwater habitats to show how people and technology can help us learn more about life under the ocean. A big highlight of our learning was using the LEGO SPIKE Essential. We learned how to connect their models to motors and sensors, then use coding to bring them to life. We explored how to program movement , lights, and sounds. Through building, coding, and sharing, we developed teamwork, creativity, and communication skills. We gained new skills and also developed a love for discovery.
