13 STEM Activities with LEGO

It’s no secret that we all love to play with LEGO.  And it’s also a well-known fact that LEGO is the ideal medium for experimenting and learning about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (“STEM”).  We’ve collected some great activities for you and your builders to try, sampling everything from wind and solar power, coding, blueprints and patterns.  Why not turn these 13 STEM Activities with LEGO into a family challenge and aim to complete them all!

Design a LEGO Boat with Lemon Lime Adventures.  It’s got to be watertight, be able to float, and be able to carry a little bit of cargo. For extra fun you can take this one outside!

Try some LEGO Computer Coding STEM for Kids with Little Bins for Little Hands.  Computer coding is a big part of today’s world, and combining it with a favourite toy like LEGO is a great idea.

This Wind Powered LEGO Rescue Mission from STEAM Powered Family is both exciting and challenging.  Kids will have so much fun with this that they *might* forget they are learning about harnessing the wind.

LEGO Pulleys from Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls is another awesome engineering challenge and a fun way to learn about and play with simple machines.

Build a World Map with World Lego Mosaic Patterns by Childhood 101. Not only is the process a great challenge, the result is stunning!

Create a Water Cycle Project with LEGO by KC Edventures and try some hands on science!  Water cycle projects are super interesting, and you can use this model to introduce the idea – and then dive deeper!

Build a Car with LEGO by Preschool Powol Packets for a  fun STEM challenge!  This is a great introduction for the youngest of engineers.

Geometric LEGO Blueprints by Kids STEAM Lab are decidedly a favourite of mine.  Young builders are left with a blueprint they can use to recreate the same structures, and more advanced builders can add more details as well, such as cross section views and lists of materials.

This Solar Powered LEGO Car by Teach Beside Me is a great activity and a super fun introduction to solar power and what you can do with it.

Building a LEGO Rainbow by Schooling a Monkey is apparently more difficult than you might think!

LEGO Addition Cards by Playdough to Plato are a great example of how you can easily to use LEGO to build simple math skills.  (This is also a great way to get stray LEGO tidied up!)

Use this Storytime LEGO Building Challenge from Left Brain Craft Brain to build LEGO creations based on themes from their favourite books!  The possibilities are endless!

LEGO Mandala Art by Mama Papa Bubba is a very creative way to play and build with LEGO and I can totally see myself getting hooked on possibly playing with LEGO for hours!

Have a great time with your little future engineer!

Our kids have had a BLAST with these 12 absolutely fantastic LEGO ideas. Keeping the LEGO fun flowing
