"Expanding our minds brick by brick one move at a time."
Welcome to State Bridge Crossing's Advanced Strategies Lab! We are so excited to offer our students a hands on educational experience to explore, discover, invent and create using LegoEducation, Thinkfun and Mindware strategic games. In addition, students learn the fundamentals of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math by engaging in experiments and engineering challenges while developing their ability to problem solve and work collaboratively!

Learning with Lego Education
LEGO® bricks are naturally engaging to elementary students. When they are introduced into the learning environment they boost motivation. It’s through this active, engaged experience that LEGO Education Elementary teaching solutions help to lay the foundation for lifelong learning. The hands-on solutions ignite children’s natural desire to explore and discover. Students are emersed in the language of thinking, science, technology, math and engineering more effectively while improving and developing problem solving, collaboration and communication skills.

Engineering Design Challenge
|
First grade discovers that nature is a maker of shapes!First graders in Mrs. Brandenburg's class discovered that nature is a maker of shapes some of which they had never heard of before; the spiral, the helix, the meander and the branch. They learned that nature uses shapes and patterns in order to sustain life. They then used pattern blocks, combining multiple shapes, to create things they see in nature.
