LEGO Structures
Towers, Bridges, and Castles with LEGO
A Jr. Structural Engineering Course
Become a junior builder and make amazing LEGO creations! You will learn core structural engineering concepts while building cool creations like towers, bridges and castles. There are no instruction booklets in this class – you will use your imagination to build these structures while learning the engineering behind them. So while your buildings will look cool on the outside, they will be rock-solid on the inside, ready to withstand an onslaught from earthquakes, boulders, and even hurricanes.
LEGO Designs
Creative Engineering with Blueprints, Sketches, and Communication
A Jr. Structural Engineering Course
Design and build amazing LEGO creations! Think like an engineer while learning to read simplified blueprints (very different than LEGO instructions) and even make your own blueprints. Share your great ideas with fellow engineers by telling the story behind each LEGO creation you make. Test your creations and learn to build like an engineering master.
LEGO Engineering Challenge
Build, Tilt, and Bend with LEGO
A Sr. Structural Engineering Course
Beyond junior LEGO, get ready for the big LEGO challenges. Bring your hard-core creative juices and move beyond the square world of traditional LEGOs.This isn’t about structures, nor LEGO bricks, it’s about a way of thinking Each lesson teaches critical thinking, brainstorming, planning, testing, and refining – but then move beyond a square world as you tilt, turn, roll, and twist your creations.
Rise to the Challenge
Investigate, Explore, Create
A Mechanical & Structural Engineering Course
Expand your engineering skills! This is about using your ideas to solve problems creatively. Take your resources and make them into something exciting. How do you build the tower higher? How do you make the pingpong ball travel the zip line quicker? How do you build a bridge that spans the whole room? Explore the concepts of force, friction, velocity, and gravity. Rise to the challenge and stretch your abilities.
Lego Engineering: Creative Construction
Famous Buildings of the World
A Sr. Art and Structural Engineering Course
Learn to use pieces in unconventional ways while building great masterpieces. Construct buildings shaped like animals, robots and pyramids. Work together to build the Great Wall of China. Create an upside-down house. Meet the challenges presented each week while placing your own creative stamp on them.
