On Tuesday 7 October, the 7M students immersed themselves in a dynamic, hands-on learning experience that combined creativity, critical thinking, innovation, and entrepreneurship – all starting with a simple pile of LEGO® bricks.
Working collaboratively, the students designed and built their own mechanical structures using LEGO® components, applying engineering concepts and problem-solving skills to turn their ideas into functioning models.
Once their mechanisms were complete, they brought them to life through coding. Using block-based programming, students learned how to control motors and sensors, experimenting with loops, timing, and cause-and-effect logic. The process encouraged curiosity, persistence, and innovation as they tested and refined their designs.
In the final phase, creativity met business. The students transformed from inventors into entrepreneurs, developing business concepts around their LEGO® innovations. Each team identified potential customers, calculated start-up capital, estimated expenses, and created a basic budget and business plan. To conclude, they designed and presented a commercial pitch to showcase their product and persuade an audience of its value.
