LEGO Engineering & Design
9:00 am | $209
Two hours. Endless possibilities. In this hands-on class, students use LEGO bricks to explore how things are actually built — from structural basics to mechanical design. Through a mix of solo challenges and group builds, they'll tackle real engineering problems, experiment with architectural concepts, and develop creative solutions under time and resource constraints.
Students complete two major collaborative projects alongside personal design challenges that push their thinking beyond just "putting bricks together." It’s part workshop, part design lab — and a great foundation for anyone curious about how the built world works.
