Lego classes
- Thread starter shwetakhanna
- Start date
we went for a trial yesterday at ctworkshop in happy valley. my 4 year old son loved it! im very impressed. it was more than just lego, it inspires young minds to invent and empowers them with skills to build through lego.
there were other older kids below 10 years old. some were on the computers, some were building small lego robots. all the kids including mine, were in the same classroom, with different instructors, yet not distracted, were enjoying their lessons. it was as if, groups of young inventors all huddled up together, creating! the energy was amazing.
the instructor was very engaging. i have not seen anyone like him in ANY of the schools or extra curriculars we've signed up for. he was able to encourage them to be imaginative, express their thoughts, expand their vocabulary, guide them to build. teach them different roles of lego blocks, pulleys, nuts and swings. he was able to enter their play world and bring them back to reality to build. there was alot of laughter and pretend play.
im glad i was able to see how the class was conducted. i would not have known how to engage my son in such a fun manner like the teacher did. it was a very interesting and humbling experience for me.

Thanks, Pixelelf - that's great to know. I'd already enrolled my eldest two in a trial class (scheduled for tomorrow). I'm hoping they enjoy it just as much your son did.

Rani : Isnt your guy too old for CTW? I thought CTW was for much younger kids...Perhaps I should consider my 9YO

I believe CTW goes up to age 12 or 14 for the more advanced engineering/mechanical modules.
