Learn Together
Fun is always part of the equation, and we’re here to learn from our play, too. Bricks 4 Kidz has a team of teachers who are fully vetted and trained to lead discussions and teach STEM concepts. Kids can learn about the practical basics of torque and friction or the fascinating world of space exploration and movie-making.
Build Together
We believe there’s immeasurable value in seeing your imagination come to life in front of you. Kids get this experience alongside their peers as they team up to create something from concept to completion. This collaborative experience teaches the value of teamwork, communication and problem-solving.
Play Together
In the spirit of our motto – We Learn, We Build, We Play – our after school classes end with free-play time. After a structured lesson and teamwork exercises, this time gives kids a chance to stretch their creative muscles and turn a pile of LEGO® Bricks and motors into whatever design they can imagine.
Benefits of a LEGO®-Based After School Program
A STEM-focused after school program gives students the opportunity to combine scientific discovery and team building in a fun, no-pressure environment. By using LEGO® Bricks and robotics as the conduit for learning, kids can explore concepts with a hands-on approach, rather than simply reading a textbook.
Benefits of our LEGO®-based education after school programs include:
- Applied STEM concepts: Kids apply what they’re learning in school to create their own tangible models. This brings classroom learning to life.
- See the world in new ways: Kids watch the concepts of torque and friction playing out in real-time and begin to understand the push and pull of how things work.
- Grow in self-confidence: Our programs encourage students to try new things and apply complex concepts to the LEGO® Bricks in front of them. Accomplishing their goals and figuring out how to solve problems leads to a boost in self-esteem.
- Build teamwork skills: All projects are completed with a partner! This gives kids the chance to communicate clearly, ask for help and learn the dynamics of teamwork and sharing.
- Imagine bigger: From model building to free-play time, kids are encouraged to dream, create, design and imagine anything they want. A pile of LEGO® Bricks can become anything if kids put their minds to it!
- Play in a safe environment: Our staff is trained and experienced in LEGO® education. They also help facilitate a stress-free and positive dynamic for kids.
