Welcome Schools, Districts, and Community Centers!

Are you a Lego master? If so, it’s time to show off your skills! Each week we present a new building challenge: From skyscrapers to zoos, bridges to airports, malls to main streets, and everything in between! First, our Right Brain Curriculum instructors will review the history of what we are about to build: How airports graduated from landing strips to vast travel networks or how aeroelasticity explains why the Tacoma bridge nicknamed “Galloping Gertie” collapsed. Then, it’s time to build! You will create a model of each structure out of an enormous assortment of provided Legos, then present your creation as we photograph and document it. Learning and Legos: Now that’s an adventure!

Got an idea for a side-less taco, a shirt that never stains, or a no-spill baby bottle? Then it’s time to put on your inventor’s hat and design the business of your dreams! As our Right Brain Curriculum teachers get you up to speed on business plans, competition, budgets, and presentation skills, you will bring your one-of-a-kind idea to life. You will design your flagship store, write and perform in your own TV commercial, and create a prototype of a product that will change the lives of millions. Armed with your “elevator pitch,” you will present your business and persuade your audience to get behind your big idea! Let’s get those wheels turning — it’s time to take care of business!

You will create your own Lego house of the future – designing space-age furniture for every room in the house and a futuristic vehicle for the garage. Even the family pet will get a reboot! You will consider how virtual reality, climate change, and interactive robots could change life on Earth and beyond. So, get in your virtual time travel machine and start designing your Future House!

Put away those old workbooks, let’s learn math with Legos! Each week you will be tasked with a Lego project to build – from mansions to skyscrapers, swimming pools to zoos. But there’s a catch! Each project will require you to use a particular math concept. Your pool model might require a perimeter of exactly 16 inches. Or your skyscraper budget may call for a mezzanine that totals exactly $250 as calculated in Lego bricks. Our Right Brain Curriculum instructor will have your back – they will review key concepts including area, perimeter, measurement, probability, geometry, decimals, and estimation. You will have so much fun constructing your Lego creations, you might just forget you’re learning!
