Young Engineers Bricks Challenge
January 14, 2020 @ 4:30 pm - 5:45 pm
An event every week that begins at 4:30 pm on Tuesday, repeating until April 21, 2020
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. To enroll, call (720) 550-8922, email YoungEngineersLittletonCO@gmail.com, or enroll online HERE.
