FOR LEC

We enable youngsters to be better qualified to meet the challenges of the future society – a future where innovation, originality and the ability to work with others will be key competitive parameters.

LEGO Education Centers help children to develop their natural talents: To cooperate with others, solve problems and express their thoughts and ideas: skills that tend to be ignored in schools and supplemental education centers today. These are the things that we’ve become really good at over the past 25 years of working for child-care professionals, educators and parents alike.  

We have more than 120 centers around the world. Center activities are for all ages. They are developed and carried out by experienced teachers and trainers.

Hands-On Learning

When children actively construct things in the physical world it helps them to build knowledge in their minds. Hands-on experiences allow children to use their body-kinesthetic skills and spatial intelligence. When they do this in a supportive environment, using opportunities to explore a variety of possible outcomes, instead having to deliver one predetermined result, their understanding and motivation is greatly enhanced.

At LEGO Education Centers we give youngsters a challenge and provide the materials, the time and the support for them to find their own solutions. We encourage them to express their ideas and we facilitate their team work. We teach them the basics and let them work out the rest.

Building Potential

LEGO Education Centers should be seen as a supplement to the traditional learning environment: an open space where children can have fun while simultaneously developing cross-disciplinary skills.

Center activities meet curriculum targets in science, technology, art, design, engineering, mathematics, and computer and communication skills. Whereas schools are inhibited by tight time schedules, large class quotas, a perpetual focus on performance measures, and limited budgets for hands-on resources, we are able to take the time to inspire, challenge and support children as they discover what they are truly capable of.

LEGO Education Centers also offer professional development courses for teachers and childcare professionals.

Stimulate kid’s curiosity 

LEGO? bricks have held a special place in the hearts of generations of children and their parents. But what makes teaching material from LEGO Education so special? What do LEGO bricks have to do with learning?  

We believe that traditional learning methods and materials tend to limit children's natural ability to learn because they establish specific routes to reach a given solution. Instead of having a variety of choices for solving problems students are limited to, in most cases, just one. The result is that they simply reproduce knowledge instead of conceptualizing it themselves.

Extra Learning Dimension

In addition to covering important curriculum areas, LEGO Education solutions help children to become creative thinkers, problem-solvers and effective team-workers. We call this the Extra Learning Dimension.

We present groups of children with a challenge, and give them the tools that enable them to find their own solutions. In this way they experience the thrill of genuine achievement.

The set includes not only Lego bricks but also relevant instruction, teacher’s guide book and program designing tools. Knowledge they gain in the activity link up with what they learn in school such as science, design, math, etc. LEC provide a fun place outside school which is educate meaningful.  

LEGO Education solutions are designed to cater for children’s individual needs and differences. We present them with topics that waken their interest, and build on their existing knowledge. We set them tasks that require that they find their own solutions in their own way.

Chris Rogers, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Tufts University, USA says:
"In my opinion, schools should teach children to be curious about the things around them - i.e. how to solve problems and where to look for solutions and find answers. If you give children those tools they can solve any problem. Because LEGO Education tools allow children open-ended problem-solving, children get curious, and with the help of the teacher children can find answers to their questions."
