This summer, take your creativity and confidence to towering heights at Kidizens' Young Mayors Summer Camps! During 1-2 excitement-packed weeks, kids are immersed in a highly experiential and collaborative process of building, managing and governing their own LEGO cities. The program leverages your child's love of LEGOs to help them learn important 21st-century skills and leadership strategies, all while having tons of fun creating civilizations from the ground up. Our 2019 Summer Camps are offered in Los Altos, Belmont, Foster City, San Carlos, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Campbell, and San Jose.
During camp, kids will:
- Build a brand new LEGO City from the ground up in groups of 2-3
- Serve as a Co-Mayor in the Kidizens City Council and role-play other city job positions
- Create a robust city infrastructure to manage city residents' basic & growing needs
- Handle unexpected challenges (natural disasters, crime, resource scarcities, budget crises)
- Establish laws and justice systems - fun court cases bring many concepts to life
- Construct amazing LEGO creations, many incorporating fun robotic elements
While happily LEGO-ing to their heart’s content, kids will sharpen their skills in:
- Leadership and interpersonal skills
- Out-of-the-box creative thinking
- Problem solving in a fast-paced environment
- Teamwork and collaboration
- Public speaking and confidence
