STEM Activities for Kids in London
LEGO STEAM Course
We are delighted to announce our new LEGO® drop-off course for pre-schoolers 3 – 5 years old! It’s a fun and active course about the importance of being part of a community, where we will discuss and build key social skills. The course will encourage an early love for STEAM concepts of science, technology, engineering, art and maths, fostering a natural curiosity for how things work. Pre-schoolers will develop academic, social, and cognitive skills through building activities, role-playing and idea-sharing, as they complete each lesson. • Science & maths – learn basic building skills. • Independence – develop life-readiness skills. • Social skills – learn teamwork and group collaboration.
