Overview of Course

Overview of Course

Lets do Lego sessions are ideal for children who enjoy STEAM learning. The course is designed to guide and encourage children to look at problem solving, planning and creating models with Lego. Models made from Lego such as a balloon car, a penguin, dinosaur or photo frame will captivate their imagination and challenge them to do more. The course builds confidence and dexterity in children and provides an opportunity for parents to work with children.

Course Overview

What you will learn

What you will learn

This is a practical and interactive course that is meant to be lots of fun whilst learning and developing important skills.

It is designed to ignite a passion and confidence in children that will lead them to explore their engineering skills further. Learning through play has been widely recognised as an effective way of developing skills. As part of the activities – children will also be developing their communication and teamwork skills.

The course also allows a safe and organised environment for parents/carers to spend quality time “playing” with their children and taking key lessons away about working together to encourage healthier relationships.

By the end of the course, parents/carers will be able to:

· Recognise how hands-on learning can be used to engage children with STEAM subjects

· Complete a short Lego Challenge tasks within a set time frame in the session
