Workshop: Build a LEGO Bird!

$10 Youth

Sunday, Jan 27, 2019 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

Workshop is at Chico Masonic Family Center (Map)

Description

Swoop into our collection of thousands of LEGO to design and customize your own LEGO bird creation. Then attach your bird to our zip line to watch it "fly" across the room. After a brief compare and contrast between real bird flight and LEGO bird flight, Play-Well TEKnologies instructors Amber Drake and Matthew Greening will assist kids with designing, building, and "flying" LEGO birds. While participants do not get to keep their creations, they do get to play and build with our massive LEGO collection and develop skills and inspiration that they can apply to building at home. Youth ages 6-12 welcome. (LEGO is a registered trademark of the LEGO Group.)
