Right Brain Curriculum - Lego Adventures $200 Resident • $210 Non-Resident
Are you a Lego master? It’s time to show off your skills! Each week is a new challenge: from skyscrapers to farms, bridges to airports, space stations to main streets, and everything in between! First, our instructors review the history of what we are about to build: How the elevator revolutionized skylines, how 1930s' farms survived grasshoppers and the Dust Bowl, how aeroelasticity explains why the Tacoma bridge nicknamed “Galloping Gertie” collapsed, etc. Then, it’s time to build! You create a model of each structure out of an enormous assortment of Legos. We photograph each creation before moving on to our next topic. In our final week, you create a final landmark project to show visiting parents. Learning and Legos: A perfect match!
