Bringing in something every student loves—LEGO—John McKinley transformed an ordinary classroom into a mini car manufacturing plant. Using LEGO bricks and components, students worked together to build and operate their own production line, learning key principles of design, teamwork, problem-solving, and lean manufacturing along the way. The session was not only fun and interactive but also deeply educational. Students explored how real-world factories operate, how assembly lines improve efficiency, and how each person plays a crucial role in the success of a larger system. The hands-on activity made abstract concepts tangible and showed students how creativity and engineering go hand in hand. Thank you again, Mr. Mckinley!
