Meet your mentor outlines a STEAM-driven lego education approach, sharing curricula, on-site workshops for ages 15–30, and teacher training programs to empower schools with six bricks Lego education.
Learn what cryptography is and why it safeguards messages. Discover how encryption creates a secret language so only intended friends can read scores, even if someone else sees the message.
Explore code breaking with LEGO bricks by creating color and shape keys to map bricks to letters, decode secret messages, and complete the home assignment.
Learn to encrypt messages with bricks by building a 26-brick alphabet keycard and converting English text into brick codes, creating a secret code language for kids.
Learn crypto coding with Lego by encrypting a sentence using provided keys, encoding and decoding messages, and practicing with a 60-second timer as you work with paper and pencil.
Explore basic navigation concepts by guiding a character through mazes using straight moves and clockwise or anticlockwise turns. Practice level-based challenges to plan steps, verify sequences, and reach the destination.
is this it?
Explore real-life navigation uses, including a toy maze and Google Maps, bricks. Create a six-movement legend to solve mazes and use a 16 by 16 maze with the answer key.
Design and solve a Lego-based sudoku puzzle by exploring a 9x9 grid, the nine subgrids, and numbers 1 to 9 to boost logic and reasoning.
Learn to solve a four by four sudoku using the rules that each number appears only once in a row, column, and box, with guided practice.
Build a Lego sudoku board by arranging bricks into a 16 by 16 grid on a plate, with four bricks along the outer edge and vertical breaks to enable solving.
Students use color-coded Lego bricks to solve a Sudoku puzzle on a grid, apply the three golden rules, place bricks by color, and verify no color repeats.
Design a Lego-based sudoku by color-coding brick placements to satisfy one-per-row, one-per-column, and one-per-square rules, then remove bricks to create solvable brainteasers for friends.
Trace the origin of the tangram and learn how seven pieces—triangle varieties, square, and parallelogram—form endless shapes, with no overlaps and using all pieces in any orientation.
Build a six-piece lego tangram from custom pieces, follow step-by-step instructions, rotate pieces in any orientation, and ensure all pieces are used with no overlaps.
Explore tangram solving strategies, from brute force trials to using unique puzzle parts, with 11 custom tangram puzzles and home assignments to boost computational thinking for coding.
Bring out the best of your LEGO® bricks with this course aimed at building a foundation for coding. Targeted at parents with children aged 5-7 years old, this course is best suited for homeschooled students or children with an idle set of LEGO® bricks. WIth hands-on activities including LEGO® construction and interactive games to explain complex topics like Navigation, Sudoku, Cryptography and Tangram. This course is a fun way to explore these concepts easily and at your own pace. All four sections require students to unlock creative thinking and logical reasoning skills.
Specifically, in Brick Crypto students will understand the concept of sending ‘secret’ messages through the method of encryption and decryption by creating their own LEGO bricks secret code.
Brick Navigation will help students understand sequential designing of a simple algorithm that traces the path of a physical and virtual bot from start to finish on a maze.
Students will learn problem-solving by finding the solutions to a creative and colorful version of the age-old numerical puzzle: the Sudoku.
Finally, they will learn problem-solving, lateral thinking and computational brute-force method by solving the original, and subsequently brick, versions of the historical Tangram puzzle.
It is important to note that the course is to be accessed by parents or guardians of children that may be interested to take up a basic course about coding.
