Clubs

The Bricks Fun - Machine Builders program (designed by Tektokids®) teaches students between 6 and 11 years of age basic math, physics, and engineering with motorized LEGO®. By building machines and constructions from LEGO®, the students become familiar with technical and physical principles and see them physically working in the built models.     

The models connect to various themes that we will cover during a series of lessons, such as forces, balance and different forms of energy.
The students become familiar with basic mechanical principles such as gears, levers, pulleys, wheels and axles and investigate and test the various applications.
We challenge the children to improve the models according to their own insights and to investigate the possibilities of the materials and knowledge offered. This investigative and designing way of learning appeals to problem-solving thinking, creativity and more 21st century skills.

+ Investigate various physical phenomena such as force and movement
+ Develop motor skills
+ Develop spatial insight
+ Follow a working drawing step by step
+ Apply technical principles
+ Explore various forms of energy
+ Investigate constructions that provide stability and strength
+ Learn to apply found solutions in other situations
+ Increase sense of competence
+ Review the process and evaluate
