Milford Recreation Dept. -LEGO® Engineering Summer Camp
Play-Well TEKnologies presents LEGO® Engineering
Dream It. Build It. Wreck It. Repeat.
Kids are already naturally gifted creators. Then they get added inspiration from our specially trained instructors. They dive into our massive collections of LEGO® parts. And while they build elaborate objects, structures and vehicles, they explore fundamental principles of engineering and physics. They also learn to collaborate and create without fear of mistakes. The experience is joyful, the impact long-lasting.
