Bricks Challenge

What Is Bricks Challenge?

Real Engineering.
Real Physics. Real Fun.

Your kid builds a real motorized elevator — and then figures out the physics behind why it actually moves. That's Bricks Challenge. Every week, kids work with specialized bricks and mechanical parts to construct working models — cranes, amusement park rides, drawing machines, and more.

This isn't free play with building blocks. It's a real STEM curriculum where kids learn forces, gears, energy, and leverage — they just don't realize it because they're having too much fun.

How a Class Works

75 Minutes of Hands-On Learning

Each session kicks off with a quick intro to an engineering concept — explained through a story or real-world example so it actually makes sense to a 7-year-old. Then kids get to building.

Every model is motorized, so when they're done, it actually does something. Once the base build is working, kids are challenged to tweak it — swap gears, shift weight, redesign a part — and see what changes. Class wraps up with a few quick questions to make sure the ideas stick.

🧼 All equipment is sanitized between sessions, classes are kept small, and every instructor is NCSI-screened and SafeSport certified.

What Kids Learn

Real Physics & Engineering Concepts

Not worksheets. Not lectures. Concepts kids discover by building things that actually move.

⚡ Forces & Energy

⚙️ Gears & Transmissions

🔩 Torque & Leverage

⚖️ Load Distribution

🌀 Centrifugal Force

🔄 Axis Rotation

📐 Symmetry

🏗️ Mechanical Advantage

Along the way, kids hear stories about legendary engineers and inventors like Archimedes and Leonardo da Vinci — because every kid should know where these ideas started.

Why Parents Love It

They Think It's Play. You Know It's Education.

Kids walk out talking about torque and gear ratios — not because someone lectured them, but because they built something that moved and figured out why. It builds real problem-solving skills, gets them thinking critically, and teaches teamwork. And honestly? They just think it's the best part of their week.
