Camps and Birthday Parties

Camps

Many LEGO Education Centers offer holiday camps. Programs are based on popular themes such as robots, outer space, travel, machines, monsters and treasure islands. Children work in pairs or small groups to solve a variety of challenges presented in each camp theme. Programs are typically offered to children in three age groups: 4-5 year-olds, 6-7 year olds, and 8-12 year olds. The recommended number of children per camp session is 12.

 

4-5-years-olds

This youngest age group works with LEGO® DUPLO® bricks; a larger building system designed to help them develop fine and gross motor skills and to express their thoughts and ideas.

 

6-7-years-olds

This age group works with the standard LEGO System brick to build solutions that answer to a variety of creative and problem-solving challenges.

 

8-12-years-olds

Children in this age group typically work with the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education resources to design, build and program robots. MINDSTORMS includes the programmable NXT brick, software, motors, sensors, bricks and LEGO Technic gears, axles and beams.

 

 

Birthday Parties

LEGO Education Center party programs provide a refreshing alternative for youngsters who have plenty of energy and lots of imagination. Parties run for 90 minutes and cater for up to 12 children, supervised by a trained facilitator. Programs include:

 

A Visit to the Castle

Children visit a castle and design and build a fabulous throne for the birthday child, who is crowned prince or princess.

 

Dr. Hearbeat

Children build and program robots to carry out a variety of life-saving operations. They join Dr. Heartbeat and his NXT-bots on the operating table for a breathtaking, life-saving mission.

 

Knights and the Hidden Treasure

Children become knights for a day, hunt for a hidden treasure and try out their map reading skills.

 

Move your Body

Children build games out of LEGO SOFT bricks, and try their skills at limbo dancing, ball throwing, long jumping and obstacle jumping.

 

A Day at the Zoo

Children have to be inventive when Gina Giraffe develops a sore throat! They are challenged to help the vet by designing and building a way to deliver a dose of medicine to a tall, shy giraffe.
