I really loved how this lesson was interactive and engaging for students. Many students at this age have an interest in legos and similar toys. Creating a lesson that allows students to utilize these materials will not only help them understand the concepts better but also stay attentive throughout the lesson. I can't wait to use this interactive lesson in my future classroom!

Within this article, the students were given a real-life example of trying to cross a river in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. I loved how this activity allowed the students to be creators and think through the problem as engineers. By making this into an engineer STEM lesson, the students were forced to be problem solvers and creative within their design. I also really enjoyed how they incorporated technology into the lesson. I have an educational technology minor and I love to see when this is done and how it is incorporated in a meaningful way. Those prototypes look like they would work very well within this authentic problem.
