Winter -Vine Hill After School

Class Description

Embrace the winter chill with our dynamic after-school LEGO® classes for elementary kids. Join us for a blend of fun and learning as we use LEGO® to delve into STEAM topics, foster creativity, and nurture critical thinking skills. Utilizing only genuine LEGO® sets his class has been specifically designed to meet young learners at their level. From LEGO® newbies to experienced builders The Brick Labs Instructors are ready to lead the way through weekly hands-on learning adventures. While we recommend this class for students in kindergarten and 1st grade we do accept older elementary age students as well. Each 8-week class will follow the same weekly schedule: 15-20 minutes to eat lunch/snack, free build and LEGO® play. 5-10 minutes discussion on the STEAM topics of the week. 25-35 minutes for building the weekly challenge project. 15-30 minutes of free building and LEGO® play. 5-15 minutes for cleanup. Class will wrap up every week in the designated classroom. If a student needs to be picked up early caregivers can find us at the designated classroom (disclosed 1 week before the start of classes). At the end of the 8-week class students will receive a small LEGO® set to continue their learning adventure at home. What is LEGO® Play? Not every student wants to build LEGO® every week or for the full class period. That is why The Brick Lab also offers LEGO® inspired play. From mini-figure stuffies we call Building Buddies, to LEGO® coloring pages, books, and games we work hard to engage students with LEGO® while also allowing time for a break from building. None of our activities are compulsory. Students are welcome to dive into our weekly Instructor led curriculum or explore and play with LEGO® as they please. Our goal at The Brick Lab is to facilitate each student’s personal growth utilizing hands-on learning through play. PLEASE NOTE: A Brick Lab Instructor will meet kindergarten students when school gets out at 2:10. Students will get 25 minutes to play on the playground, weather permitting, at no additional charge.
