The LEGO Foundation is partnering with the Lemann Foundation to make education in Brazil more equitable.
The Brazilian non-profit org was awarded a nearly US$4-million grant as part of LEGO’s Tech & Play Initiative. With this funding, the Lemann Foundation plans to implement a four-year Creative Schools Program through its Brazilian Creative Learning Network. The initiative which will reach more than 500,000 students in the region is designed to provide hands-on educational opportunities with a focus on technology and play.
MIT’s Lifelong Kindergarten group, the Tinkering Studio at the Exploratorium Museum, and the Center for Engineering Education and Outreach at Tufts University all had a hand in developing the Creative Schools Program as partners.
