Field Trips

A BRICKS 4 KIDZ® program provides opportunities for children to:

• Build problem-solving skills whilst providing an opportunity for creative expression and fostering an appreciation of how things work

• Develop critical thinking skills through design thinking processes

• Explore STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) concepts by utilising multiple learning modalities to engage visual, kinaesthetic and auditory learning styles. Different kids learn in different ways!

• Develop social and emotional skills such as patience, teamwork and communication in the process of completing a project in a noncompetitive setting

• Improve fine-motor skills as children manipulate small components and objects

 

A BRICKS 4 KIDZ® In-School Field Trip takes learning out of the pages of the textbook and into an imaginative, 3-dimensional, hands-on learning experience!  Use the LEGO® bricks your students already know and love to get them excited about learning.  In-School Field Trip are a fun-filled, engaging experience that kids will be talking about long after the fun and learning has ended.

 

Curriculum and Instructional Content

• Students will work in a lab-type setting using LEGO® bricks with an integrated curriculum based on STEM concepts.

• Instructional content includes concepts of friction, gravity and torque, scale, gears, axles and beams.  We will work with you to ensure the content aligns with your appropriate curriculum.

• The material covered each session will vary depending on students’ ages, experience, and skill level.
