Bricks 4 Kidz® after-school enrichment classes provide an exciting atmosphere for students to build unique creations, play games, and have loads of fun using LEGO® bricks. The activities are designed to trigger young children’s lively imaginations and build their self- confidence. At Bricks 4 Kidz® we are focused on introducing children to principles of science, technology, engineering, architecture, and math. We promote problem solving and higher level thinking with all of our themed units.
During this 10-week session the students will explore several different themes and topics including Laws of Motion, Space Exploration, Energy, Interesting Inventions, Amazing Animals and much more!! Each week the students will build a different moving model which incorporates gears, axels, motors, and other LEGO® components. Each model build relates to the terms and concepts that the students discussed in class that day. Please join us as we learn, build, and play with LEGO® bricks!!
