Summer Edge: Fun-Paced Learning at McLean School of Maryland

Lego™ Master Builder Workshop

August 6-10 (no prerequisites required)

Whether you’re new to Lego™ brick building or an experienced pro, this special workshop will take your skills to a new level. This exciting, week-long Lego™ apprenticeship builds on activities from the previous Wonder Kids Lego™ contraption week (although it is not required as a prerequisite), Learn how to make simple machines such as pulleys, gears and ramps with basic Lego™ bricks, and then incorporate them into your own original Lego™ contraptions. Discover the fundamental Lego™ combinations used by master builders to create many of your favorite Lego™ sets. Wonder Kids instructors adapt activities and vocabulary to fit the age and abilities of each group.

In Contraption Art and Tech, create virtual 3-D Lego™ designs. Plan and build a futuristic city using creative architectural building blocks.

In Contraption Sports, take Team-Building to a whole new level as you and your team members cooperate like well-oiled machines to reach your common goal. Your group can only solve its challenges when you work together as one.
