much, much more. Our motto is: We Learn, We Build, We Play with LEGO® Bricks! Please let me know when you would be available for us to show you some of our models and materials! Bricks 4 Kidz®
Detailed Description of the Program
DESCRIPTION:
• This is a hands-on class where students build machines, buildings, vehicles and other structures out of LEGO® bricks, using one-of-a-kind model plans designed by Bricks 4 Kidz.
• While exploring principles of engineering, architecture, physics and more, students will develop problem solving and critical thinking skills.
• Participants build a new project each week.
• Each class begins with a teacher-led discussion related to the day’s model.
• Once the project is completed, children use the rest of their time to expand their gadgets and collaborate with one another. CURRICULUM/INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT:
• Students will work in a lab-type setting using LEGO® components such as gears, axles and beams.
• Instructional content is multi-disciplinary and designed by educators to increase student’s general knowledge and introduce S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering and math) concepts related to the day’s model.
• Lessons are designed around students’ interests, with themes like animals, space, transportation and sports.
• The material covered 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 fundamentals of engineering and architecture in a non-competitive setting.
• To build problem-solving skills, provide an opportunity for creative expression and foster an appreciation of how things work.
• To help students understand that Architecture and Engineering are viable career choices. BENEFITS:
• Kids already know how to build with LEGO® bricks, but with a little coaching they can learn about engineering, architecture, physics and math using specialized components.
• When lessons are related to something kids enjoy, like building with LEGO® bricks, kids are more motivated and retain more of what they learn.
• Working with a partner fosters teamwork and cooperation.
• Completing a new challenge each week builds self-esteem.
