\nBricks 4 Kidz is a hands-on class where students build machines, buildings, vehicles and other structures out of LEGO bricks, using one-of-kind model plans designed by Bricks 4 Kidz. While exploring principles of engineering architecture, physics and more, students will develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. Participants build a new project each week. Each class begins with a teacher-led discussion related to day's model. Once the project is completed children use the rest of their time to expand their gadgets and collaborate with one another. The students will work in a lab-type setting using LEGO componets such as gears, axles and beams. The instructional content is multi-disclinary and designed by educators to increase students's general knowledge and introduce S.T.E.M.(science, technology, engineering and math) concepts related to day's model. Lessons are designed around students' interests with themes like animals, space transportation and sports. The material covered each session will vary depending on students' ages, experience, and skill level. All materials will be provided. The program will be conducted from January 14 to June 7 2013. Classes will meet for 1 hour per week in five 4 week sessions. Students may join in at the beginning of each session. Additionally, we will offer a Robotics camp March 11 to March 15 2013.
