Build, Play & Code with LEGO Essentials!
Get ready for an afterschool adventure where imagination meets technology! In LEGO Essentials, 1st–3rd graders will design, build, and program their very own LEGO creations—making them move, think, and respond like real robots. Each session is packed with hands-on projects and exciting challenges that spark creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork.

The program runs for two quarters with all-new projects each term—no repeats! Students start with beginner-friendly builds and can progress to more advanced coding and engineering techniques as their skills grow. Whether it’s your child’s first time coding or they’re ready to level up, LEGO Essentials makes learning fun, engaging, and rewarding.
