Get your Lego game on!

Calling all Lego masters! Get ready for an exciting week of building challenges- from skyscrapers to zoos, bridges to airports, and everything in between!

Our Right Brain Curriculum instructors will teach you the fascinating history behind structure: How airports graduated from landing strips to vast travel networks or how aeroelasticity explains why the Tacoma bridge, nicknamed “Galloping Gertie”, collapsed.

With an enormous assortment of Legos at your disposal, you’ll bring your creative visions to life. Showcase your stunning models as we photograph and document your masterpieces! Learning and Legos: Now that’s an adventure!

Lego Adventures will run from Tuesday, June 23rd - Friday, June 26th from 9:00am - 12:00pm at the Pollard Middle School. Registration is open for children in grades 1 - 5, with a fee of $210. Register online today at www.needhamprograms.com
