Brick Club
Ages: 7-10 years
Based on the work of Dr. Daniel Legoff and Dr. Gina Gomez De La Cuesta, Brick Club is a neurodiversity-affirming, child-led, interactive setting where kids develop expressive language and social communication skills, under the supportive supervision of trained facilitators.
In this club, participants work together, collaborate, and compromise to create Lego projects, including sets, free-builds, and even stop-motion animation!
