Let us have a fun night with the kids while you enjoy some quality<br />
time! A Bricks 4 Kidz Night Out is a high-energy, creative, fun evening<br />
full of LEGO® building projects, games and more! Children will spend<br />
three hours with us, supervised by our trained, screened staff. They<br />
work with exciting themes such as Super Hero, Mine Craft and Star<br />

express them. Kids will enjoy dinner, and a movie, build unique creations,<br />
play games and just have fun using LEGO® Bricks! And they<br />
may just learn something along the way.<br />
We provide games, projects, and of course, loads of LEGO® bricks<br />

Bricks 4 Kidz – Space Adventures<br />
Many children dream of being an astronaut and traveling to space, so<br />
Bricks 4 Kidz created an entire unit around<br />
space! Each week, students will learn about<br />
real-life space exploration and build a new<br />
model related to the NASA space program.<br />
Models include a satellite, a lunar module,<br />
a centrifuge which astronauts use to prepare<br />
for the physical sensations of launch,<br />
a treadmill which astronauts use to stay fit<br />
in space, and a “space robot”. During this<br />
unit, students will learn some of the science<br />
behind launching things into orbit, will hear<br />
about the most-distant-man-made object in<br />
the universe, and discuss what it is like to be an astronaut in space. Are you a<br />
budding astronaut? An adventurer who loves space exploration? Then you’ll<br />
love our Space theme projects! We’ll be building NASA astronaut training<br />
equipment, a space robot and more in this exciting four-week session. Let<br />
Bricks 4 Kidz launch your imagination to outer-space and beyond!<br />
