Missoula International School students solving our challenges with LEGOs one robot at a time

Beyond the glee and rush of children leaving school on a mild spring day, a group of students gather around a table in a Missoula classroom. To someone from an older generation, perhaps not accustomed to the lessons of today’s educators, the contents upon the table appear more as toys than a science project.

Upon the table sits a mission map – a sheet of plastic with a black-and-white grid and a few random circles that serve no apparent purpose. Arranged like a small make-believe city waits a collection of LEGO structures that hold little resemblance to the colorful square bricks of yesteryear.

In simple terms, this isn’t your grandfather’s LEGO set.
