Description

🧱 LEGO Builders Camp

A guided play and early engineering program where children explore building, storytelling, and problem-solving through hands-on challenges using LEGO® DUPLO® bricks. Each session is designed to align with school themes and encourage exploration of basic STEM ideas through creative construction and teamwork.

Topics we explore include:

  • Simple Machines – levers, pulleys, ramps, and gears
  • Structure & Stability – what makes buildings strong or weak
  • Patterns & Symmetry – building repeating designs and mirrored structures
  • Community & Environment – creating themed scenes like cities, oceans, or outer space
  • Measurement & Spatial Awareness – understanding height, width, and balance
  • Cause & Effect – testing how design changes affect movement or stability

Skills students develop:

  • Early engineering and design thinking
  • Fine motor coordination and hand-eye control
  • Collaboration and teamwork
  • Vocabulary around STEM and building concepts
  • Creative storytelling through building
  • Following multi-step directions
  • Problem-solving through trial and error

Each class encourages children to think like young engineers—imagining, building, testing, and proudly sharing their creations.
