There is something different happening at NULC. In our mission to be ‘The College of first choice’ we are investing in a new and innovative way to enhance and enrich our curriculum; with LEGO.
We will become the first education provider within the
region to boast a LEGO Innovation Studio that is purposely equipped with LEGO
Education resources. There is a wide variety of resources available that are
suitable for all levels of learners. All curriculum areas within the college
have made a commitment to integrating them wherever possible.
The main focus of the resources are courses which base
themselves upon the STEM curriculum. Students studying courses involving Maths,
Science, Engineering and Computer Science will all see the immediate affinity
with the robotics whilst all other students will be accommodated with the
literacy resources available.
The LEGO Innovation Studio will not only provide our current
students with opportunities through the curriculum and extra-curricular clubs
but will also offer tasters and workshops for our future students through the Schools
Liaison Team. We aim to run subject specific tasters that both secondary
schools and primary schools can access giving schools the opportunities to
experience the studio first-hand.
Once you are a student here you will given the opportunity to spend parts of
your curriculum time using the facility and the resources to get involved
using LEGO kits to enhance your learning experience. You will also be able
to join in the extra-curricular robotics club!
