After School Class Descriptions

Spring Class Themes — Grades 1-6

 
{April} All about Sports – Bricks 4 Kidz is excited to introduce a n*e*w type of model plan with additional LEGO pieces to our technic kits.  The models will be more challenging and better accomadations for multiple skill levels.  In this theme kids will build atypical sports models and learn about the science of movement.  

{May} Inventions- This theme celebrates innovation.  So many great ideas have made our work easier and shaped our lives.  Students will dive into some history and learn about a few different inventions that have revolutionized many areas of our lives, then they will use their own inventor caps to build motorized representations of these machines.  

n*e*w Jr. Robotics Class I— Using software, elementary school students will be able to program the models they craft out of LEGO® bricks.  WeDo bridges the physical world, represented by LEGO® models, and the virtual world of computers and programming software, providing a hands-on, minds-on learning experience that actively involves young students in their own learning process.  WeDo is generally aimed at promoting children’s creative thinking, but also teamwork and problem-solving skills, skills which are essential in the 21^st century workplace. ***Strongly recommend that child has attended a Bricks 4 Kidz®  Engineering class before attending Jr. Robotics.
