Trained instructors use LEGO Duplo and K’NEX educational kits to build math and science skills. Our specially designed building kits have gears, levers, and pulleys. Students build simple machines that really work, while building fine motor skills and confidence. Classes are designed to reinforce classroom curriculum. Students use colors, sizes and shapes to build simple machines and then perform scientific experiments to see how they work. Several new and exciting machines are built each day.
