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.
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.

Explore our core education objectives for children ages 6-11 for our Homeschool and After School Civics Classes!
18-week session, where children collaboratively build and learn the day-to-day civic and economic concepts of managing a city, and as such develop design thinking, problem solving, social and leadership skills.
Kidizens serve on a city council and may run for an elected position as Mayors, judges, doctors, lawyers, fire chiefs, sheriffs, safety inspectors and in many other roles, while improving
self-confidence and developing leadership skills.
The Kidizens also manage city budgets, enact laws, cope with natural disasters and crises.
They also interact with other cities and cooperate on various issues, as they develop problem solving and analytical thinking skills.
Teachers provide historical and local perspectives through lessons on related civic and
economic topics and guide students to learn through the consequences of their own actions while encouraging “out of the box” and critical thinking.
Many engineering and robotic elements are intertwined into various city units (motorized
controls, draw bridges, moving conveyor belts, sensors and lights) to teach kids basic concepts in science and engineering.
Exciting field trips to the local City Hall, Stanford Design School or History Museum, Recology Center, scheduled as per availability, convenience, and community safety.
