Evening and Weekend Programs
Children love our extra-curriculars because we make classes challenging, joyful and have an instructional team that cares. Parents love them because we’re flexible, make rescheduling easy and send children home happy each week. Classes are fun, hands-on, engaging and will give your child the “why” behind much of their school-based learning.
For programs offering rolling enrolment, you can join at anytime during the year for an 8 class cycle. For Coding programs, we’ll individualize your child’s learning plan to ensure they complete their level of study. (See level descriptions below). All rolling enrolment programs offer easy rescheduling to ensure you receive all eight classes that you paid for.
Fixed date programs are 9 classes long (but fees are equal to 8 week program in case you miss one).
If you would like to do a complimentary trial class, please contact us at info@bricklabs.ca .

Course Descriptions
The Creativity Incubator runs for 8 classes, 120 minutes per class. $350 includes HST. Classes work on a monthly theme where builders will get to explore all aspects of building towards that theme. They’ll be coached on bringing ideas to life and with lots of detail. Students can work on projects individually or collaboratively weekly or over multiple weeks. Whatever it takes for them to complete their vision, our instructors and their classmates will be there for them.
Story Maker starts in January for a 9 week run on Thursdays at 415pm. Your child will learn the essential elements of story telling/writing. Using LEGO as their medium, they’ll craft a story with proper character development and a plot. Once they story board it, we’ll take photos and turn their idea into a comic, complete with speech bubbles and special effects. At the end of the program, they’ll have a powerpoint version ready to share with friends and family.
Micro-Scale Design is an advanced builders program (ages 8 to 12) and starts in January for a 9 week run on Thursdays at 4:15pm. Thousands and thousands of parts make this program perfect for intricate LEGO designs. Part class, part incubator, older builders will have time to explore and share through muliple builds and challenges.
LEGO Technic Skills for builders looking to take their designs to the next level. Understand all aspects of LEGO connections, gears, structural integrity and design features with LEGO Technic pieces.
Coding for robotics is a great way for students to enhance their logic and problem solving abilities as well as apply math skills throughout the program. We use the LEGO Spike Prime for all our Coding for Robotics programs. Instructors will asses students regularly before moving them to the next level.
- Level 1 – Demonstrate an understanding of the Spike Prime hub, sensors, motors and app by being able to build and code simple robotic devices; trouble shoot connectivity issues; use and maintain kit and tablet to class standard.
- Level 2 – Using instructions, build a robotic device and code it to perform its intended function; perform a creative upgrade to an instructional build and update code to perform the new function; make a presentation to the class on a robotic build and how the correct code was developed.
- Level 3 – Given a real world problem, students will be expected to build and code a unique robotic device of their own design that solves the problem; effectively present their solution to a group; display iterative thinking skills and resilience in problem solving.
- Level 4 – Working in small teams, students will be expected to display effective communication and collaborative skills to solve a real world problem by building and coding a robotic device; assist in teaching a basic Spike tutorial to students at Level 1 or 2; develop a challenge for the students in Level 3 to solve.
Moving through each level should take approximately 8 weeks. Our instructors will ensure a level of proficiency is achieved before progressing your child to the next level, which could take more or less than 8 weeks.
Introductory Engineering is suitable for students aged 5 to 8, and is significantly linked to much of the elementary science curriculum. Weekly builds will explore an engineering concept, then have a student perform a test or experiment to further their understanding and knowledge of the lesson. Each lesson will end with some “explore” time for the students to go in a direction of their choosing with the build.
Structural Engineering students will learn and experiment more with creating effective and efficient structures. Most builds will encompass using instructions at first, but students will have the opportunity to add their own creative twists at the end of each class. This class focuses on having students work on function before form to ensure their build achieves its purpose. As weeks progress, students will be introduced to mathematical formulas (e.g. gear ratios) for engineering their structures and devices.
Mechanical Engineering, students will take their devices to the next level by adding movement and motors to complex technical builds. In addition to building devices by instruction, students will work in small teams to complete creative engineering projects, demonstrating their understanding of the concepts learned.
Creative Engineering Project. For this session, students will pick an area of interest and design, create and explain their completed project. Instructors act more as coaches and mentors through the project. An example from this past year is an automobile blowout model including the engine, steering, suspension, transmission and brakes showing how each area functions.
The Introductory class is 8 sessions. Both structural and mechanical engineering are a minimum of 8 weeks, but can be extended for additional weeks so students can build through a multitude of engineering concepts. Students completing these programs can enroll in a creative engineering project, where they will be coached through a significant build demonstrating their knowledge of a specific concept.
