Guidelines

1) Conduct a literature search on the use of LEGO and its alternatives in STEM education with an emphasis on physics.
2) Prepare work kits (including worksheets, didactic and technical notes) to support development of selected knowledge and competencies.
3) Pilot the prepared materials; after editing, publish them in a suitable form to make them accessible to all interested parties.
4) Plan, design and conduct research focused on the development of knowledge or competencies in physics using building block systems.
5) Present interim and final results at conferences or in physics education journals.
