Lego Foundation Playlist https://playlist.legofoundation.com/activities/ "Kide Science is a research-backed, play-based STEAM education pedagogy for teachers of young scientists. Traditional, theory-first science learning is swapped for exciting, interactive science play. While our pedagogical approach may be rooted in imagination, we take our responsibility for raising the next generation of critical thinkers very seriously:  five years of research, a  big team of scientists and educators, and thousands of hours of content creation means we take STEAM seriously!"
