Our 4 to 5 programs are the perfect way to introduce your child to STEM-based principles while having fun and building with LEGO bricks! Each day students will learn STEM-based concepts that correlate with the build they are creating using axles, gears, motors, and battery packs. Students will follow the teacher’s instructions, step by step, to assemble their creations. Once their build is complete, students will have time to modify and experiment with their LEGO brick creation any way they would like!
