The poll showed students who are confident in STEAM are more likely to be confident at school overall and enjoy learning new things. When it comes to STEAM learning specifically, teachers and parents agree that the number one way their students can build confidence in STEAM subjects is working on a hands-on project with others. Additionally, while the importance of hands-on learning is clear, only 40% of teachers say their students usually or always get substantial time during the school day for hands-on lessons. According to the poll, 87% of students say they learn and remember topics more when the learning involved hands-on projects, and 93% of parents say hands-on learning helps children retain knowledge for the future. Cross-curriculum lesson plans are easy for teachers to bring into classrooms and relatable to students.Īccording to results from a new Confidence in Learning poll, fielded by Harris Insights & Analytics, students need hands-on learning to build confidence and improve educational outcomes that prepare students for the future. Combining the physical and digital worlds through LEGO bricks, sensors, motors and an intelligent hub, students build fun and engaging creations, and then use the SPIKE Prime app to bring those creations to life through Scratch-based coding.

The new product is designed to help middle schoolers build the confidence to try new things. LEGO Education SPIKE Prime is a whole new way of bringing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) into the classroom. The company also released new insights on students’ confidence in learning STEAM subjects. It is designed to make it easy for kids to get hands-on with building and coding.

A few days ago, LEGO Education made an interesting announcement, introducing SPIKE Prime, a brand-new product that brings together the physical LEGO bricks we all know and love with technology.
