Leading by Example

Hackley Lower School's vibrant Team Lego program continues to grow, and recently enjoyed a visit from program "graduate" Ben I., current sixth grader, who has been mentoring the Lower School teams since last year.

Ben, now a member of the Middle School Aquabots team, returned to the Lower School recently to introduce current Lower School teammates to the concept of architecture by reading Iggy Peck, Architect, and talking with the students about the roles of architects, engineers, and builders in the process of designing and constructing buildings. This season, the teams are participating in the Boomtown Build Challenge, through which they will plan, design, and build buildings, including motorized and programmed components, for a Lego city. They will present their completed buildings at an expo this winter.
