Setting:

We come to your facility with our curriculum,computers,and LEGO® building materials. Our programs provide a safe, relaxed learning environment where initiative is invited and self-expression is celebrated. Model building provides opportunities for problem-solving and helps kids develop an appreciation for how things work. All this takes place while kids are having fun and socializing in a non-competitive atmosphere.

History:

Bricks 4 Kidz is a franchise company operating for four years.

Program Highlights:

After finishing the model build, the children are encouraged to creatively modify and enhance their models. Advanced classes include introduction to computer programming using WeDo and Mindstorms software.

Activities:

After-school programming, preschool classes, homeschool programming, in-school field trips, camps, and birthday parties.

Field Trip Destinations: In-school field trips.
Program Information:

 We provide hands-on classes where students build machines, vehicles, animals and other structures. Students will work in a lab-type setting building with LEGO® bricks, gears, axles, pulleys, motors, battery packs and remote controls. Classes start with a STEM focused lesson plan on the model to be built. Then working in teams of two, the students will build the model, using Bricks 4 Kidz’s® copyrighted model plans. When the model is completed, the students are encouraged to  modify/enhance the model, which always raises the energy level and sparks their creativity.

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.
