Brixology Ultimate
The projects in this section of LEGO® engineering are more challenging. We build on some of the same concepts covered in Brixology Fun-damental, but the in-class projects take a bit more focus. We will emphasize nautical, mechanical, structural, and automotive engineering, as well as going in depth in these areas. It is not necessary to take Brixology Fun-damental to sign up for Brixology Ultimate. Each camp is super fun and challenging, and you can take one or both!
Creatures
Children discover nature’s engineering secrets as they investigate biomimicry and biomechanics! Children build a walking insect machine then test different ways to help it climb up the steepest incline.
Machines
Children learn how gears, wheels and axles, and levers are useful tools for mechanical engineers. They combine simple machines with art and design to create and test a motorized drawing machine made with LEGO® bricks.
Towers
Find out how structural engineers use ideas from physics to solve construction problems. Children collaborate and build a structurally sound tower with a working elevator made with LEGO® bricks.
Vehicles
Children build a motorized vehicle and learn how to optimize it. They use gears, wheels and axles to reduce frictions and make work easier. Then they shift things into a higher gear to get a hands-on understanding of transmissions and gear ratios.
