ABOUT Bricks 4 Kidz ®

DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM

Our programs offer hands-on learning classes where students will design and build machines, catapults, pyramids, buildings and other constructions using LEGO ® bricks. While exploring engineering, architecture and physics, students will develop problem solving and critical thinking skills.
Engineering and Architectural concepts are taught while assembling buildings, bridges and other structures.
Once the project is completed, children use the rest of their time to expand their gadgets and collaborate with one another

Students will work in pairs; all programs are delivered in a classroom setting.
Instruction is delivered by fully trained and screened teachers using pre-designed instruction materials whose objectives support Ontario elementary mathematics and science curriculum expectations.
Instructional content includes concepts of friction, gravity and torque, scale, gears, axles and beams.
The material covered each session will vary depending on students’ ages, experience, and skill level.
All materials will be provided.

For children to play and socialize with friends while building in a non-competitive setting.
To provide an opportunity for creative expression and foster an appreciation of how things work.
To provide learning fundamentals of Engineering and Architecture and to help students understand that Engineering and Architecture are viable career choices.

They already know how to build with LEGO® bricks, but with a little coaching children can learn the fundamental concepts of Engineering and Architecture, while further developing their understanding of the core mathematic and science curriculums they are taught at school.
Children will develop problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork and communication skills, preparing them for the world that awaits them.
