Brick Contraptions Workshop
Where Creativity Meets Engineering!
Join us for a 5-week hands-on adventure where homeschoolers explore the exciting world of simple machines, chain reactions, and inventive design! Using LEGO® bricks, students will build, test, and refine their very own Rube Goldberg–style contraptions that complete fun challenges—like popping a balloon or ringing a bell!
Led by experienced STEM mentors, this workshop blends creativity, collaboration, and engineering as kids learn how motion, force, and cause-and-effect come together to create truly amazing machines.
This is the perfect workshop for builders who love experimenting and problem-solving. Each week brings new discoveries, as students explore how levers, pulleys, gears, and ramps can work together to make something incredible happen!
