LEGO Fun Day
On Saturday 13 January, our eagerly awaited LEGO Fun Day returned to School for 2024. A free event that’s open to everyone, the day was once again supported by The Brickologists.
With over 60 people in School for the event, everyone had a fabulous time with prizes for the children’s competition as well as the adult’s – children made a model of their favourite room in the house in the competition and adults built a spinning washing machine!
The children also enjoyed using LEGO and Duplo to build a den which they could fit into, as well as a large group build creating a large, long island which included a marooned boat and lots of booby traps in the style of Indiana Jones.
It was great to see everyone engaged and enjoying the LEGO as well as the time together, thank you to everyone who came along and everyone who helped organise and manage the day.
LEGO Robotics
We were incredibly excited to launch our very first five-week LEGO Robotics Programme in School on Monday 15 January, and week one did not disappoint.
Children arrived in School for the first of their five sessions, supported by Richard Williams from The Brickologists, a Robocup Junior Champion winning coach and STEM ambassador.
With only a limited number of places available on this course, it was great to welcome everyone along to the event as they built their very first robot. Next week they will all be learning how to code it, and complete the first challenge, ‘Cliffhanger’.
We’ll share more news of the sessions as they take place, but for now thank you to everyone who helped to organise and manage the event and we’re excited to see what the remaining four weeks have in store for our LEGO enthusiasts.
