Learning is at the very core of the LEGO Group's most heartfelt values. In cooperation with cutting edge professionals in the field, our Education Division has accumulated three decades of rich research results in child development and effective learning experience. We offer "an education that will last a lifetime"
LEGO Education was founded in 1980 in response to demands from teachers and childcare practitioners. LEGO Education supplies educational solutions for children from 1½ to 16+ years, with a global network of more than 50 suppliers across 60 countries.
LEGO Education Afterschool Programs (LEAS) cater for children from 3 to 9+ years. Each program is developed by educational specialists to meet the specific developmental needs of children as they grow. The programs are based on topics. Each topic supports specific learning areas and each session has individual learning goals.
LEGO Education's System for Learning effectively stimulates children's instinct to learn. They are motivated to apply their learning in new contexts. That means they embark on a self-directed learning process which enables them to obtain skills and techniques to excel in the 21st Century.
Systems are essential for learning because they are used by the mind to generate meaning from the endless onslaught of stimuli from the outside world. They help us to make sense of things and to build knowledge and understanding.
Through systems we also channel creativity into ideas or artefacts in a way that can be understood and valued by ourselves and others. They help us to express ourselves.
Systems that allow us to build knowledge and understanding, as well as express it, are crucial for learning. We call this Systematic Creativity: the ability to think creatively and reason systematically. It is about making sense of, and leveraging, human experience. It is marked by a strong push to put imagination and creativity at the service of knowledge and reasoning.The LEGO System for learning is unique because it provides endless opportunities to make sense of things and express new ideas.
All LEGO Education activities embrace the 4C learning frame work – Connect, Construct, Contemplate, and Continue, which is tested to be an efficient way to promote creativity and problem solving skills. A new concept is Connected to previous knowledge with the children at the start of every activity, then the children has to Construct something by hands, which teacher will later aspires the children to Contemplate about their design and sparks children’s imagination to Continue this cycle of learning.
