Kidizens Spring Program

summer camps for 4th graders

Kidizens is our flagship program aimed at students between the ages of 6-11. The program provides a creative social and learning environment where students build and inhabit their own LEGO city. We encourage collaborative and guided discovery of real world concepts while role-playing and having fun in a universe built of LEGOs. Our mission is to inspire kids to become great citizens and future leaders, one LEGO brick at a time.

Our Kidizens year-long program is a highly interactive, fun and immersive project-based learning session in which students meet once a week to build, manage and govern their own LEGO city. The curriculum incorporates many urban planning, sustainability, environmental, and science,  engineering concepts.

Kidizens Build-A-City

A highly interactive, fun, and project-based LEGO building session where kids create an entire LEGO city while learning key civic and economic concepts. Over several weeks, students work in teams to manage their city’s budget, solve challenges, and address problems like natural disasters, all while role-playing as city council members. This hands-on experience fosters critical skills such as problem-solving, public speaking, and collaboration, preparing kids for future leadership roles and real-world situations.
