After School Programs
OVERVIEW
- Our one hour classes explore architecture, engineering and technology concepts using LEGO® Bricks. Students work hands-on to design and build machines, buildings and other constructions. While exploring new concepts related to architecture, engineering, manufacturing, the environment, etc., students develop problem solving and critical thinking skills.
- Participants build a new project each week.
- Once the project is completed, children use the rest of their time to expand their projects and collaborate with one another.
Classes follow the Bricks 4 Kidz®:
- We Learn– Teachers provide the theme for the current week’s build ( Laws of Motion, Gravity)
- We Build– Students build the model of the day with simple step by step instructions
- We Play– Students explore their own creativity through free play time
CURRICULUM – INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT
- Students work using LEGO® Bricks with an integrated curriculum based on math, social studies and science.
- Instructional content includes concepts of friction, energy, gravity, torque, scale, gears, axles and beams.
- The material covered in each session will vary depending on students’ ages, experience, and skill level.
- All materials will be provided.
GOALS
- For children to play and socialize with friends while learning fundamental concepts in a noncompetitive setting.
- To build problem-solving skills, provide an opportunity for creative expression and foster an appreciation of how things work.
BENEFITS
- Many children already know how to build with LEGO® Bricks, but with a little coaching they can learn concepts of engineering, architecture, and physics using the plastic components.
- Students will further develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
- Students work in a team environment.
