In this hands-on session, educators will explore how LEGO® Education Science can be used to help Illinois students model, investigate, and redesign solutions to real-world environmental challenges. Participants will engage in collaborative design tasks focused on local systems such as climate patterns, land management, and human impact on the environment, while strengthening students’ skills in scientific modeling, data analysis, and evidence-based reasoning. The session highlights practical strategies aligned to the Illinois Learning Standards and NGSS practices, emphasizing systems thinking and sensemaking rather than single “right answers.” Educators will leave with adaptable lesson ideas, assessment approaches, and connections that make science learning relevant, rigorous, and grounded in students’ lived experiences across Illinois.
