Lego Engineers

HuckleBerry partners with Play-Well Teknology to provide our suite of Lego Engineering classes! These are extremely hands-on classes with no homework and no paperwork from the class itself;

it's ALL building, experimenting, re-building, re-experimenting!

In each class, instructors are teaching STEM concepts & vocabulary with an emphasis in physics and engineering. Students learn how gears work, where fulcrums should be placed, trajectories, energy displacement, tower / shape strength and so much more through their projects and experimentation. Lessons are learned through team and solo play and experimentation.

These classes tend to fill fast!
