From Theory to Engagement Through a UDL Lens

Hands-on learning is a powerful approach to making learning meaningful, memorable, and accessible for all students. In this session, we’ll explore how the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) 3.0 Guidelines can be applied to create inclusive, engaging, and equitable learning experiences, especially for students from marginalized communities.   Participants will examine how tactile, collaborative, and inquiry-driven activities align with UDL principles of Engagement, Representation, and Action & Expression. Using examples from LEGO® Education science tools, we’ll illustrate how hands-on learning can support diverse learners in building scientific understanding and confidence.
