What to Expect
Step into a world of creativity and technology with LEGO Spike Essential. This program combines colourful LEGO components with simple coding to spark your child's imagination and problem-solving skills. Perfect for children aged 5 to 9, the sessions encourage both structured learning and freeform prototype creation.
Each workshop is designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing kids to build and program their own LEGO models. Whether your child is new to coding or already curious about robotics, these sessions provide a supportive environment to explore and learn.
Parents can expect their children to develop foundational STEM skills while having fun with peers in a safe and welcoming library setting.
