Bricks 4 Kids after-school classes build on the universal popularity of LEGO® bricks to deliver a high quality of educational play. Kids construct a new model each week based on exciting themes from space to sports, amusement parks to animals. Our trained, screened Bricks 4 Kidz teachers lead a discussion related to that day’s model, using materials designed by educators to teach concepts across a variety of subject areas.

In Newspaper Club, student reporters and photographers eagerly gather news from after-school events, sports, and activities. Students discuss, develop, and write their own articles and take their own photographs under the guidance of Ms. Sequino, a former crime reporter and journalist. The Club culminates with an end-of-the-year release party showcasing students' work in an online newspaper.
