Lego Classic: Engineer
Lego Classic Engineering is designed for children ages 4-6 (SK-Grade 1), which involves building structures, cars and different functional objects. The lessons in the class teach children how to plan for other physical challenges, design elements and work in collaboration. Students use Lego Education BricQ motion and Lego Classic Motion kits to build ideas that test early aspects of physics and mechanics.
Children build projects solo and in pairs and have to present the object in public speaking practice at the end of each class. The students practice early public speaking skills, explaining their skills in the form of ideas, concept, and design.
This is the perfect CO-ED program that develops critically-thinking leaders who understand engineering and science concepts while keeping children actively engaged and excited the entire time.
