About This Activity
Little Builder is a hands-on S.T.E.A.M. camp designed for children ages 4 to 6 that introduces foundational science, coding, engineering, and design concepts using specialized LEGO educational sets. Engineering & Construction: Campers explore fundamental mechanical concepts by building working models of rolling vehicles, rocket ships, and rafts using LEGO’s Tech Machines to learn how simple machines like levers, gears, wheels, and axles function. Physics & Mechanics: Young builders engage in hands-on investigations of physical science principles, testing energy, discovering buoyancy with their custom raft builds, and exploring balance. Introductory Coding: Participants get their first taste of programming using LEGO's Coding Express, learning basic algorithmic logic as they construct a train and command it to navigate around a custom-built village. Literacy & S.T.E.A.M. Connections: The camp weaves popular, STEM-focused children's literature into the curriculum—featuring inspiring stories like Rosie Revere, Engineer and Ada Twist, Scientist—to encourage creative problem-solving. At the end of the week, campers complete a small LEGO building project they get to take home.
