A little about Bricks4kidz
Here is an outline for the class:
Our LEGO® Technic afterschool programmes follow our ethos of “We Learn, We Build, We Play”
We Learn: The session starts with a short presentation. Our LEGO® Tutors present and discuss the scientific vocabulary and concepts that underpin the LEGO® Technic build. Our aim is to develop children's relationships between Science and everyday life.
We Build: The children build their own motorised LEGO® Technic build. Each week will see the children undertake a new challenge. With 4 different degrees of difficulty for each build, the afterschool programme is appropriate for Junior Infants to Sixth class.
We Play: The children enjoy a structured playtime with their build. During this time, our LEGO® Tutors encourage children to use their imagination to modify and enhance their build, and discuss and explore the effects of the changes they have made
Bricks4kidz follow a very structured approach to Lego. We follow the STEM Program - For after-school Classes we have Lego Building boxes and Technical kits. Every week we use alternative options between bricks and technical kits.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact myself on 0892548108 or mkaur@bricks4kidz.ie
