10 am LEGO Junior Master Builders 2nd-4th

LEGO Junior Master Builders (2nd–4th Grade) 

Get ready to build, create, experiment, and compete! This hands-on LEGO class is designed for young builders who love creative challenges, friendly competition, and figuring out how things work. Throughout the semester, students will take on a variety of exciting LEGO engineering challenges, working individually and in teams to design, build, test, and improve their creations.

Projects and challenges may include:

1. Balloon-Powered Racing Cars: Build LEGO cars powered by balloons and race to see whose design travels the farthest or fastest!

2. LEGO Catapult Challenges: Engineer launching machines using levers and pivots to hit targets and earn points.

3. Zip Line Carts: Design LEGO carts capable of carrying a minifigure down a zip line.

4. Tilt Maze Challenges: Create tabletop mazes that challenge players to guide a ball through twists, turns, and obstacles.

5. Weight-Bearing Bridges: Build strong bridges and test how much weight they can hold before collapsing.

6. Cantilever Challenges: Explore balance, gravity, and counterweights while building structures that extend out over an edge without support

Whether they’re racing, launching, balancing, or building, every week brings a new opportunity to put their LEGO skills to the test!
