ISUEO hosts Kids Club program ...

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach (ISUEO) partnered with the 21st Century Community Connections Learning Center (CCLC) Kids Club at East Elementary School in Waukon to offer a LEGO® themed after school program. Eleven third through fifth graders experienced the LEGO® Education kits and helped build a car sweeper to clean up trash. They learned about pulleys and gears and how the size and placement of them mattered. After all cars were built, they were tested out to see whose car cleaned up the most trash. The youth also decided to have their own LEGO® battle and worked together or on their own to make an indestructible vehicle. Using their imaginations and a motor, they were able to create one of a kind projects to battle each other.
