Summer Technology Camps 

Bricks for Kidz has designed two new 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. 

Video Game Design with Scratch 3 Camp

Maybe you’ve already got the basics down, or maybe you’re a quick learner, and you’re ready to take your coding skills to the next level. Each day we’ll deconstruct a classic video game type, to examine what makes it work, and then build our own unique playable versions.

Coding and Video Game Design with Scratch 3 Camp

A full day of coding and building fun? Yes, please! Get two full camps each day plus extended supervised creative building hours. In the morning, learn how to code your own games, animations, and control LEGO^®  Models with a computer. In the afternoon, we’ll deconstruct a classic video game type, to examine what makes it work, and then build our own unique playable versions. 

Throughout the day we’ll also take time to build models using LEGO^® Bricks. Plus get half-hour early drop-off, supervised lunch hour, and a half-hour late pick-up – a $600 value!

FALL CLASS

Junior Robotics Lego® Class

Children as young as 6-9 years of age can have fun learning robotics! Using software while working on tablets, kids will be able to program the model builds they craft using Bricks 4 Kidz model plans and Lego technology to create exciting dynamic robots. This 6-week class provides a hands-on learning experience that actively involves the young students in their own learning process while making lasting memories. All students make and take home a custom minifigure (kits are reused not taken home).
