Build-A-Mind Information

Build-A-Mind provides numerous enrichment programs to inspire kids to try something new, to get creative and to push their boundaries. We believe that given encouragement and access to a variety of tools and building materials, kids will go "outside of the box" to experiment and create things that we can only dream of. We work with the children to help them develop their ideas and self confidence. We aim to teach them that it's OK to make mistakes and that not all things go to plan, but that each step is an opportunity to learn and improve. All of our programs reinforce the four c's of 21st century learning: creativity, communication, collaboration and critical thinking and are specially designed to inspire and engage children in the subjects Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M). At Build-A-Mind we don't only create things with LEGO® bricks, although we do use them a lot! We also build, design, code and make with Cubelets, LittleBits, Dash and Dot, K'Nex, Goldiblox, MaKey Makey, Edisons, Arduino, Meperbots, Mindstorms, Raspberry Pi, paper, straws, wood, bricks, tin foil, rubber and even spaghetti!
