During the online camp session, the Young Mayors are immersed in a collaborative process of building, problem-solving, and role-playing as city council members in a LEGO city that they build together. The younger campers are guided on an age-appropriate discovery of civic concepts as they build their dream city together one brick at a time. Each camp day has a special theme to kickstart their imaginations and get them thinking about all the exciting building projects they could design and construct together to resolve the many issues thrown their way! While immersed in this magical world of play they learn valuable skills such as cooperation, listening skills, sharing, compromise, teamwork, empathy, respect, and more!
The Kidizens 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 whole civilizations from the ground up. These moderator-led, highly interactive Zoom sessions provide a creative learning environment. Kids will learn about many real-life topics in the context of a utopian city-building framework, as well as have run role-playing and living in a virtual world.
This camp blends virtual meetings, project-based learning, and social interactions to recreate a camp experience that is fun and informative! The online participants will interact with and build alongside their in-person peers, making for a collaborative and engaging session of tinkering, sharing, feedback, and personal growth!
