SUBMERGED – The ocean is more than what you can see on the horizon

In our exciting FIRST LEGO League Discover preschool project SUBMERGED, children playfully and inquisitively dive into the fascinating world of the oceans.

They discover which animals live in the sea, why coral reefs need to be protected, and what is needed for a sea journey. They meet researchers exploring the ocean and learn why artificial reefs are being built.

Through stories, craft ideas, and small research tasks, ocean knowledge becomes tangible and vivid. The children actively engage, develop ideas to protect marine life, and showcase what they’ve learned – with a curious eye on the future of ocean exploration.

Take a look at what the models from the SUBMERGED Discover Set look like when built. It’s a great way to get excited about building and exploring the models yourself!

STEAM Park
Foundation for the Team Model

All teams work with the LEGO Education STEAM Park to playfully explore STEAM processes. The set serves as a starting point for developing the team’s own model and is used both during team meetings and at the exhibition.

In this video, LEGO Education presents the STEAM Park. Another video from our Swiss distribution partner EducaTec showcases the various elements and picture cards, and explains how they can be used to construct exciting projects.

Additional Materials for Educators: LEGO Education provides supplementary materials online, such as educational plans and connections to curricula, to specifically support working with the STEM+ Amusement Park.
