Bricks 4 Kidz

Most kids love to play video games, watch animations, and build with LEGO® Bricks. But what if you could combine all that with learning how to control the action yourself, by learning how to code your own games, animations, and control LEGO Models with a tablet!

This NEW for 2022 STEM camp is designed for kids with little to no coding experience, especially if they are LEGO lovers looking to expand their horizons and learn the language of tomorrow: programming. We use Scratch 3 -- an amazing code environment developed at MIT especially for kids. Scratch 3 curriculum is used at many levels educationally, from Elementary school on up to high school, and it’s a great way to expand your child’s play time into a foundation for career potential! Kids will spend time on computers and tablets, but no, we don’t expect them to sit in front of a device for 3 hours! We swap activities about every 20 minutes so that kids are getting up, stretching, and doing creative building activities, mixed in with learning how to code. Campers should already have good reading skills.

Not sure if your child can keep up, or not sure if they will have enough to keep them busy? The Bricks 4 Kidz approach to teaching code is fun and helps kids self-pace, so that they are challenged, but not frustrated, and able to learn and apply more each day.

All campers make and take home a custom mini-figure and photo collage of the week’s experience.
