Carver Elementary students used Big Blue Blocks during an activity with Toyota MS partners, working through stations focused on literacy, numbers and engineering design.
Students formed words with the blocks’ noodles, practiced greater-than and less-than concepts with blocks, and built designs including a gimbal machine with blue “gumballs.” The activity was identified as part of the AEE Grant, “World of Pure Imagination”.
