Kidizens Winter/Spring Program

Kidizens Winter & Spring Program

Kidizens is our flagship program aimed at students between the ages of 8-11. 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 Spring 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. In the second semester, the Kidizens either start a new city or continue to build the city they started in the first semester, exploring new in-depth civic topics as they manage a now functioning city. They take a deeper dive into running businesses and explore local government.
