Our first outreach event took place at Robertsville Middle School (RMS) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee — and it was a huge success!
Partnering with 8th-grade science teachers Dr. Amy Lyttle and Ms. Mazzie Zawisza, we brought science, engineering, and creativity together through a week-long, hands-on LEGO® project inspired by real-world research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
We provided everything needed to make the experience seamless — lesson plans, LEGO® bricks and instructions, spare parts, and staff support — helping students dive into a world of discovery and design.
