Build • Design • Create
A flexible hands-on LEGO engineering experience where kids ages 5+ can build, invent, problem-solve, and explore their creativity through exciting challenge-based activities.
LEGO Creator Lab combines creative building, engineering thinking, and guided challenges in a fun, supportive environment where students learn by doing. Each session allows students to choose from a variety of challenge cards based on their age, interests, and skill level — making every visit a new experience.
Some students may choose creative building and engineering challenges, while older or more advanced students can explore LEGO robotics using SPIKE Essential or SPIKE Prime.
This is not just free play — it’s creativity with purpose.

🧱 HOW LEGO CREATOR LAB WORKS
At the beginning of each session, students choose from a rotating bank of hands-on challenge cards.
Challenges may include:

Engineering builds
LEGO structures and vehicles
Team challenges
Creative design missions
Problem-solving activities
Robotics missions (SPIKE Essential & Prime)
Space and STEM-themed builds

Students can work independently, with partners, or in small teams while coaches guide, encourage, and support the engineering process.
No two sessions are exactly the same.
