LEGO CHALLENGE
with HILLARY SHUERT
AGES 6-18
*(Ages 0-5 yo can join, but see important caveat)
Calling all Master Builders!!
Each week, students will face different types of design and construction challenges. From only using red legos one week to building the tallest tower the next, students will use creativity and ingenuity to problem solve and bring their ideas to life. Most challenges will be completed individually with some occasional group activities. Class time will consist of short prompts, building challenge, sharing creations, and free Lego play when time allows. Students will be required to thoroughly clean the learning space each week to ensure no legos are left behind!

-create a “mural” of a famous painting
