- Understanding of basic engineering principles
- Knowledge of different types of building materials
- Understanding of structural stability
- Understanding of balance and weight distribution
- Knowledge of basic architectural concepts
- Understanding of spatial awareness
- Knowledge of basic physics principles
- Understanding of cause and effect relationships
Continued development related to this activity could include:
- Encouraging the child to build more complex structures using Legos
- Introducing the child to different types of building materials and their properties
- Exploring different architectural styles and encouraging the child to replicate them using Legos
- Introducing the child to more advanced engineering concepts, such as load-bearing structures
- Encouraging the child to experiment with different weight distributions and observe the effects on the stability of their Lego house
- Introducing the child to other STEM activities, such as building bridges or simple machines
