Lesson duration: 75 minutes
Age group: 10 to 12 years old, or graduates of the Bricks Lab program
Bricks Experts builds on the topics learned in the Bricks Lab course, and goes a step further in building children’s ability to take a mechanical systems engineering approach. Teamwork is an important part of the course, as models built with LEGO bricks are larger and more complex than previous programs, so go for it as a team!
