Get your gears turning in this creative class where you’ll be challenged to turn simple mechanisms into complex creations. Transform a lever into an elastic catapult, use gears to engineer a belt-driven gondola, and more. Collaborate with classmates or work towards a personal best as we apply real-world concepts to LEGO challenges.

Use your imagination to bring the settings of popular books to life. We will read a new story each day and create a detailed miniature scene in a shoebox inspired by your favorite part. Use a variety of mediums such as clay, paint, markers, and popsicle sticks as your building materials. You’ll also make up your own story and craft a shoebox scene depicting its setting.

Minecraft is more than just a game—it’s a creative tool that allows players to design and experience feats of engineering, stunning structures, and epic works of art. We’ll visit fantasy worlds, travel to space, explore modern architecture, and more. Design and build your own architectural creations inspired by your exploration while learning the meaning of good digital citizenship and practicing teamwork.
