Is this a LEGO building class?

It's much more than free building. Children use LEGO® Education kits to construct moving machines and mechanical models while learning real engineering concepts through the Young Engineers curriculum.

What is Brick Challenge?

Brick Challenge is the Young Engineers entry program for ages 6–10. Students build vehicles, cranes, transportation systems, and mechanical devices inspired by famous inventors and real-world technologies.

What is Galileo Technic?

Galileo Technic is the advanced Young Engineers program for ages 8–12, covering gear ratios, transmission systems, rotational movement, center of gravity, and mechanical coordination.

Does my child take models home?

Models are rebuilt and reused each class, but children take home weekly build sheets and project knowledge. Showcase nights at the end of each term give families a chance to see the work in person.

What skills will my child develop?

Critical thinking, engineering design, creativity, teamwork, and confidence in problem solving.

What age groups are best suited?

Brick Challenge: ages 6–10. Galileo Technic: ages 8–12. Both run in Richmond BC throughout the school year.

Brick-Based Engineering

Our LEGO Engineering program combines creative building with real engineering concepts. Students build moving models, machines, transportation systems, cranes, amusement rides, and mechanical devices while learning how engineering principles work in everyday life.

Through hands-on projects, students discover force and motion, energy, momentum, simple machines, mechanical advantage, structural design, and problem solving.
