Megan Oteri

Legocies

In this hands-on STEAM residency, students build a physical representation of their personal legacy brick by brick using legos. Students will photograph their Legocy sculptures and write a creative writing piece describing their personal legacy. Students will learn about various 3D artists that use Lego bricks to bring their artistic ideas to life such as sculptors, Sean Kenney and Nathan Sawaya and Legographer, Andrew Whyte.

This program can be adapted to focus on the legacies of historical, contemporary, and cultural figures and events (Women’s History, Black History, North Carolina History, etc.), as well as cross-curricula subjects and topics.

This program can be tailored to meet specific grade level standards and school needs. Other possibilities include: bullying, leadership, character development, and Covey’s Seven Habits.

This program can be adapted and modified as a 1-4 day program.

Both in-person and virtual (live and pre-recorded) options are available for this program.
