Project Overview
Peter Hoh led a LEGO program that focused on children using the creativity, engineering skill and teamwork to design and build a LEGO 'tiny town'. Peter is a Science Museum of Minnesota instructor and a former 4th grade teacher. Using a teaching format that incorporated challenging children, encouraging them to work together and encouraging them (using summer reading theme 'Every Hero has a Story) to become the 'Heroes ' of their own town, he encouraged children to increase their knowledge regarding construction and engineering.
