Summer Camps
LEGO® Robotics Inventor Camp
This exciting NEW for 2022 camp is geared for all inventors ages 6-12 whether experienced or not. Bricks 4 Kidz utilizes LEGO robotics technologies, programming, and their own unique robot model plans. Each day campers build the robot of the day with a programmable hub, motors, and sensors, use computers to code it, then play, experiment, and modify it or build something new. Learning the power of invention equips them at an early age to succeed in a technology-based marketplace. They'll think it's fun, you'll know it's educational, too! All campers make and take home a custom mini-figure and photo collage of the week's experience. Please bring a snack and water bottle.

Brick Galaxy Far, Far Away Camp
A long time ago in a pile of LEGO bricks in the living room…the forces of an evil galactic empire grapple with a group of small rebels (they are mini-figures, after all!) Some are masters of a mysterious force, others have hope and determination, and others are just bumbling droids that keep popping in for comic relief. Who is that baby with the pointy green ears? May the Brick be with you in this Star Wars inspired camp, as we get ready to take over the galaxy…the Bricks 4 Kidz way!

Summer Camps
Bricks for Kidz has designed two new for 2022 camps for kids with little to no coding experience, especially if they are LEGO® lovers looking to expand their horizons and learn the language of tomorrow: programming. We use Scratch 3 - an amazing code environment developed at MIT, especially for kids. Scratch 3 curriculum is used at many levels educationally, from Elementary school up to high school, and it’s a great way to expand your child’s playtime into a foundation for career potential!
Kids will spend time on computers and tablets, but no, we don’t expect them to sit in front of a device for 3 hours! We swap activities about every 20 minutes so that kids are getting up, stretching, and doing creative building activities, mixed in with learning how to code. Campers should already have good reading skills.
Not sure if your child can keep up, or not sure if they will have enough to keep them busy? The Bricks 4 Kidz approach to teaching code is fun and helps kids self-pace so that they are challenged, but not frustrated, and able to learn and apply more each day.
Introduction to Coding with Scratch 3 Camp
Most kids love to play video games, watch animations, and build with LEGO® Bricks. But what if you could combine all that with learning how to control the action yourself, by learning how to code your own games, animations, and control LEGO® Models with a computer!
All campers make and take home a custom mini-figure and photo collage of the week’s experience. Please bring a snack and water bottle.
