Children are meant to learn through play. When children are actively engaged in hands-on, interactive learning activities, their creativity flourishes. Snapology engages children using LEGO® bricks, K’Nex and technology. While the kids are having fun with familiar toys, laptops and iPads, we sneak in the educational concepts!
Snapology's mission is to provide children an opportunity to engage in "playful learning" activities that will stimulate their creativity and spark an interest in learning.
EPIC Mining & Building (full day program)
If you have a Minecraft® enthusiast at home, this is the program for them!! Throughout the week, their knowledge will be put to the test as we: *Complete advanced Minecraft® builds using LEGO® bricks and game-play experiences. Students will learn the art of crafting and stirring up their own potions using LEGO® bricks. *Create amazing movies with stop-motion animation using LEGO® bricks. Children will work in teams to produce their very own movie complete with dialogue and sound effects. Movies are uploaded to a secure site for family and friends to see how cool they are! *Work together as a team in Minecraft® to develop creativity and problem-solving skills through active planning, troubleshooting, and spatial building scenarios. You won't believe how much this fun virtual world can teach you! Not only do children learn valuable architectural design and special building skills as they have fun playing Minecraft, but they participate in team projects to enhance communication skills, teamwork and problem-solving skills.
COMBINE BOTH THESES PROGRAMS TO MAKE IT A FULL DAY OF FUN!
Mega Machines Robotics & Brick City (morning half day program)
In this machinery-focused robotics program, your engineer will explore the basics of robotics while building some pretty spectacular vehicles with their classmates! While working with a partner to complete various challenges, your student will be taught how to effectively utilize sensors, how different mechanical components work in their robots, and how programming is a challenging but rewarding skill that they can master with just a little practice. We will support them in the development of their coding and building skills and inspire them with creative building challenges.
Brick City (afternoon half day program)
Does your builder enjoy designing beautiful buildings and cities for their mini-figures? If so, this workshop is the perfect space for your young architect or city planner to sharpen their design and building skills!
