The article presents the problem of revitalizing the development of natural science disciplines by schoolchildren during extracurricular activities with the help of Lego education construction set. The authors defined the “education construction sets”, “design engineering based on construction sets” and “educational robotics technology.” Based on the analysis of elementary school textbooks, the article identifies the skill and knowledge, which are solidified and practiced by pupils in a new situation – during extracurricular activities – with the help of design engineering and robotics. The stages of working with Lego construction set are defined. At each stage, the acquired skills of design activities become the driving force in developing the necessary knowledge. The work on forming knowledge of natural science disciplines during vigorous activities with Lego construction set is demonstrated through the example of tasks on initial design engineering and robotics.
