We'll share how we promoted sanitation protocols such as the use of hand sanitizer and temperature taking aimed at preschool students by using a dispenser built with LEGO pieces, components and electronic sensors.

Audience: Teachers
Skill level: Beginner
Attendee devices: Devices not needed
Topic: Creativity & curation tools
Grade level: PK-2
Subject area: Science, STEM/STEAM
ISTE Standards: For Students:
Computational Thinker
  • Students understand how automation works and use algorithmic thinking to develop a sequence of steps to create and test automated solutions.
Innovative Designer
  • Students know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems.
  • Students develop, test and refine prototypes as part of a cyclical design process.

Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

Our goal is to share the results of this project and show how children identify and apply sanitation protocols when using the hand sanitizer dispenser along with temperature recording; designed and built with lego pieces, adding characters that children identify with the intention of making the system engaging.
