This class is for the passionate lego lover who can build for hours and get lost in their own world!

Students will combine building materials like wood, cardboard, recyclables and paint with Lego pieces and create their very own Lego world to take home and keep playing with. We will investigate different construction methods and principles like symmetry, color symbolism, building in three-dimensional space and detail orientation to become even better builders. The studio will have bins of color sorted Lego pieces as well as built examples and instruction books for inspiration. Children will be able to play and build in every class as they slowly develop a concept for their final Lego landscape. Through incorporating and attaching other materials like fabric, sand, plants and other odds and ends we will make the Legos come to life. Each student will be given up to four Lego figures to mix, match and decorate as part of their set.

As a proud native Dane your instructor, Sofia will also use this class to tell the inspiring story of the single-father entrepreneur toy maker who failed miserably multiple times before eventually building a multi-million dollar company out of his revolutionary attachable bricks! It is a story of resilience and dusting yourself off and trying again — a great lesson for every maker.

So whether you dream of building your own Star Wars planet, fantasy city, beach scene with an ice cream stand, airport with planes and passengers, jungle or a ski resort - just bring your imagination and we will help you built it!

We will provide a walking school bus from Union Elementary School.
