Bricks Challenge
The Bricks Challenge program introduces Elementary-aged children to the basic principles of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) through storytelling and building exclusive motorized models with LEGO® bricks. By integrating basic arithmetic learned in school with an intuitive active learning process, children grasp a better understanding of the fundamentals of physics and engineering concepts needed in tomorrow’s job market. Students get a project based learning curriculum in weekly increments, introducing the basic mechanics skills that will be required knowledge in middle and high school STEM programs.
