The Lego Lab is a one-hour class in which students use Lego Dacta kits to build and study machines. The students form teams of two and follow plans to examine basic mechanical principles. At this web site, you can learn about what we cover at the sessions, the goals of the class and our thrilling future plans. This web site is maintained as an independent project, without the official sanction of Gerald Ford School or Desert Sands Unified School District.
Volunteers are welcome.
Contact Bruce Rhodewalt , 772-8861. The Gerald Ford School Lego Lab received a generous gift of about 5,000 Lego blocks from a corporate donor. AlliedSignal Corp. uses buckets of the familiar construction elements for training and team-building exercises and ended up with extras, which were gladlly accepted by Principal McLaughlin. These can be used in combination with the Lab's Dacta kits or separately. Organization Kids work together in teams of two to build models, using clear, explicit directions included in the Dacta kits.
