"Children are natural scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers. They consider the world around them and try to make sense of it the best way they know how: touching, building, dismantling, creating, discovering, and exploring. Bricks 4 Kidz offers project-based programs designed to build STEM knowledge, build teamwork and foster creativity to children ages 3-13+ using LEGO® bricks. Kids will think it's cool, but parents know it's educational. Bricks 4 Kidz is not simply LEGO free play. Bricks 4 Kidz is a program that allows kids to build unique MOTORIZED creations and have loads of fun playing with LEGO® bricks, while learning basic principles of engineering, math, technology and architecture. There are many educational, developmental and social benefits in their approach to learning. These lessons are hidden in fun activities with options for every age level. Bricks 4 Kidz will introduce your child to engineering, architecture and scientific principles while important skills such as sequencing, following step-by-step directions and spacial/relational thinking are developed. Fine motor skills blossom as he or she picks up and assembles the many small bricks and gears. Also, think about the communication and teamwork needed to build a motorized LEGO creation – Bricks 4 Kidz recently launched Bricks 4 Biz, corporate team building seminars so adults can get in on the fun too.
