LEGO Engineering Programs with Play Well TEKnologies, February Vacation

This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.


Since 1997, Play-Well TEKnologies has been focused on learning through play. When kids are at play, they explore the world. When kids create, they express themselves. And when kids build, they solve problems. In 2012, our hands-on, engineer-designed curriculum helped over 80,000 kids build on the math and science skills learned in school, all through the medium of LEGO.  Come play well with us!


Course Details, February 2017
PRE-ENGINEERING WITH LEGO (Ages 5 & 6): Let your imagination run wild with tens of thousands of LEGO! Build engineer-designed projects such as boats, bridges, mazes, and motorized cars, and use special pieces to create your own unique design! Explore the endless creative possibilities of the LEGO building system with the guidance of an experienced Play-Well instructor. This is an ideal way to prepare young builders for the challenge of Engineering FUNdamentals.

ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS WITH LEGO (Ages 7-12): Power up your engineering skills with Play-Well Teknologies and tens of thousands of LEGO! Apply real-world concepts in physics, engineering, and architecture through engineer-designed projects such as arch bridges, skyscrapers, motorized cars, and the Battletrack! Design and build as never before, and explore your craziest ideas in a supportive environment. An experienced instructor will challenger new and returning students to engineer at the next level.

Format of a Typical Day at Camp
  • Kids typically work on 2 different engineering and architectural projects per day. Projects typically start with an introduction and short presentation by the instructor followed by a design/building assignment. Students have access to approximately 100,000 pieces of LEGO materials to use in creating their engineering projects.
  • Students are introduced to engineering terminology that they are encourage to use throughout the class when identifying pieces, posing questions, or assisting each other. Instructors circulate and assist the children in realizing their project goals.
  • When the participants have satisfied basic requirements of a project, they are encouraged to further explore engineering applications of the principles and construction methods by inspecting, testing, modifying, and rebuilding. At the end of each class session, students are expected to dismantle their projects and put away their materials.
