The Texas Performance Standards Projects will give fourth graders the opportunity to engage in challenging projects while developing and applying their talents. These enhanced academic experiences provide students the chance to utilize and strengthen important skills, such as logic and independent research. 

LEGO building blocks are a great tool for teaching K-6 graders about building and coding. Students would be encouraged to use critical thinking skills through the use of the materials. 

By providing each student with a Rubik's cube, they are able to learn life lessons and important skills while solving a fun and interactive puzzle!

Providing necessary technology to allow students to create, direct, and appear in videos detailing their aspirations and goals for the future can empower students to seek out new opportunities. 

Using Lego LearnToLearn kits can provide students with an opportunity to explore how to solve challenges with innovation and creativity. With the Lego kits, students are empowered to create and not just listen and watch.
