Program Highlights:

Kids already know how to build with LEGO(R) bricks, but with a little coaching they can learn about engineering, architecture, physics and math using specialized components. When lessons are related to something kids enjoy, like building with LEGO(R) bricks, kids are more motivated and retain more of what they learn. Working with a partner fosters teamwork and cooperation. Completing a new challenge each week builds self-esteem.

Program Information:

 

Where can your child develop teamwork, creativity and problem-solving? Is there a place where they can play and socialize with friends… and learn at the same time? How about unwinding after school without zoning out in front of the TV?
 
Bricks 4 Kidz(R) after-school classes build on the universal popularity of LEGO(R) bricks to deliver a high quality of educational play. Each hour-long class is a fun, enriching experience for your child. Kids build a new project each week using the classic bricks loved by generations of children. Our unique models aren’t the kits you find on the shelves of a toy store. They’re designed by Bricks 4 Kidz(R) to teach concepts across a variety of subject areas. Each unit is based on engaging themes such as space, inventions, famous buildings and more. We kick things off with a discussion about key concepts related to the model, then get right into the building. Working with a partner, your child will experience the hands-on fun of seeing a model come together piece by piece, from concept to completion. And by using one project kit to create dozens of models, kids learn that with a little imagination and resourcefulness, they can use what you have to create something amazing. Each class ends with free-play time so the kids can create their own one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
