In this paper, an analysis of the students’ skills developed by learning using LEGO blocks is carried out in two dimensions: self-connection and communication with others. A sample composed of Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering and a Master's Degree in Teaching students is analyzed, in order to identify common behavioral patterns through a cluster analysis. The results reflect the use of this tool is highly valued by students in terms of the development of the own dynamic, as well as the implicit learning that it proposes.
