Your students will gain whole new insights into applying their curriculum with a Brick Labs field trip. We make every effort to understand what you want to achieve with your students, then deliver a customized plan and professional event.
Experiential Activities
Brick Labs can provide the ultimate learning and maker space for your students. From exploring concepts in design to conducting practical experiments, we have the materials, space, and staff to make it all happen. Experiential exercises are great for all grades (1-12). Imagine your high school students prototyping a product design, or Grade 2 students getting a chance to build their own, structurally sound bridge. We compliment their learning by using collaborative techniques and review lessons learned at the end of the session.
Role-Playing
We have extensive experience in role-playing for maximum realism and learning. We will design an exercise to achieve desired outcomes, and the Brick Labs staff will help guide the exercise through twists and turns. From a mayor, NASA director, a CEO, or the press, role-playing takes our exercises to a new level in learning and realism for students. Recommended for Grades 7 to 12.
Skills Development and Application
We will incorporate leadership, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication into an exercise, or design one specifically around these skills. We guarantee students will not only enjoy our activities, but will walk away with a successful learning experience.
Time and Cost
We offer half day (2.5hrs) to full day (5 hrs) events. For full day events, students are welcome to bring their own lunch, or we can help coordinate a pizza lunch. Field trips range from $525 (half day) to $950 (full day) plus hst for a class of up to 25 students with standard materials. Technical sessions (eg. use of robotics kits) may require an additional fee.
Safety
All our team members undergo Vulnerable Sector Screening annually. Brick Labs is insured for all requirements in dealing with children.
