• They gained an understanding of teamwork and collaboration while working with their classmates to create a race track for their cars.
• They practiced problem-solving skills as they encountered challenges during the building process and found creative solutions.

Continued development can involve organizing a Lego car race competition where students can apply their knowledge of Social Studies concepts and engineering skills to design and build faster and more efficient cars. This can be done in a classroom setting or as a school-wide event, fostering friendly competition and further encouraging teamwork and problem-solving.
