In-School STEAM Workshops
LEGO Robotics, Coding, Engineering, Science, Arts and MathsBricks 4 Kidz® has exciting “In-School Workshop” opportunities for you and your students.
We work closely with the school teacher to bring STEM concepts into classroom, enhancing students’ current curriculum.
A Bricks 4 Kidz® In-School Workshop uses LEGO® Bricks that kids love to deliver hands-on lessons correlated to cross-disciplinary curriculum objectives. The Bricks 4 Kidz approach to learning is imaginative, multi-sensory and fun, creating a dynamic learning experience for your students.
Bricks 4 Kidz models are the centerpiece of the lesson, which includes an educator-scripted discussion designed to engage students in a discovery process. Our experienced teachers provide everything needed including LEGO® Bricks, model plans, power-point presentation and take-home summary sheets.
Various workshop themes are available, enhancing your current curriculum. Students are highly engaged while learning such important topics as laws of motion, space, robotics, inventions and world exploration. We work closely with teachers, tailoring our themed units and flexible time tables to match current curriculum needs.
Educational and Development Benefits Include:
- 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

It’s Bricks 4 Kidz’s vision to make high-quality STEAM education programmes Accessible to all Tamariki of New Zealand, to inspire them to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, through innovative play-based learning.
For over 14 years, Bricks 4 Kidz has been providing experience-based STEAM education programmes using LEGO® bricks, robotics and technology, to enhance children’s creativity, problem-solving, critical-thinking skills and a growth mindset for the future, and spark their interest in science, technology, engineering, art and maths (STEAM).
Science
Each lesson provides kids with a new scientific vocabulary. Lessons that focus on topics such as laws of motion, employ the concept of physical science, requiring children to apply what they’ve learned to their hands-on projects.
Technology
Technology implements the use of science to invent and problem solve. Children use their creativity and analytical skills to discover viable solutions to problems presented at the start of each lesson.
Engineering
Engineering uses the practical application of science to design and create. Although they may not realize it, kids use engineering skills to construct models, such as simple machines, vehicles, architecture buildings, etc.
Arts
Arts provides children with the opportunity to design, develop, construct and implement their innovative ideas. At Bricks 4 Kidz we allow children to follow their creative direction and inspire them to unleash their imagination.
Mathematics
Children are given the opportunity to invariably utilise math skills as they count, measure and build with LEGO® Bricks. Students build numeracy and problem solving skills through abstract mathematical concepts.
