Annual LEGO Education Teacher Award to celebrate innovative teaching and making worldwide
Today, educators from around the world are invited to enter the LEGO Education Teacher Award, a global program that aims to celebrate innovative teaching in the subjects of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). This year’s annual LEGO Education Teacher Award encourages primary and secondary educators to share how they are “making” with LEGO bricks in their classrooms.
Following from the success of last year’s LEGO Education Teacher Award, in which winners from around the world attended the LEGO Education 2017 Symposium in Billund, Denmark to display and share innovative practices with like-minded educators, the celebration returns to find this year’s cohort of talented and dedicated educators.
This year’s winners will receive the opportunity to present their work at the LEGO Education 2018 Symposium in Boston, USA from June 5-7, 2018 in collaboration with Tufts University.
Educators from around the world can enter the LEGO Education Teacher Award here.
