About the Project

Creativity, invention and disability are words that some people might think don’t go together. But with this project, my students with autism will prove that they can be as creative and inventive as their regular peers. Inspired by the TV show Lego Masters, students will work in groups and make builds depending on the theme. They will plan, execute and present each build to the class and a few selected general education classes. They will also take a picture of their build and present to their families. This project aims to inspire students with disabilities to experience engineering and arts. Each build will showcase students’ abilities, not their disabilities.
