ABOUT BRICKS 4 KIDZ®
Bricks 4 Kidz® is a creative learning enterprise that
provides an extraordinary atmosphere for students to build unique creations,
play games, and have loads of fun playing with LEGO® bricks. There are many
educational, developmental and social benefits in our approach to learning.
These lessons are hidden in fun activities with options for every age level.
Through after-school programs, pre-school classes, in-school field trips and
camps, students will experience hands-on engineering fundamentals as they build
motorized models. We provide a curriculum that introduces children to
engineering, architecture and scientific principles while important skills such
as sequencing, following step-by-step directions and spacial/relational
thinking are developed. Fine motor skills blossom as children pick up and
assemble the many small bricks and gears. The more advanced student can sign up
for stop-motion animation, junior robotics or mindstorm robotics. Playing with
LEGO® bricks is highly motivating, so children are more likely to retain
information that is delivered in the context of activities that interests them.
Patience, communication and teamwork are exercised in the process of completing
a project and working though frustration helps build self-esteem.
Organizational skills are established by keeping the bricks in their proper
place. This translates into every area of life in the form of efficiency. At
Bricks 4 Kidz®, we teach kids in a way that can’t be taught with a book and
chalkboard.
