The structured classes with Bricks 4 Kidz have given him a great foundation, and his creativity has taken him the rest of the way. Over the last 6 months, Liam has learned a huge amount about gears, coding and design. With a bit of practice, he started creating his own. Liam took inspiration from Yoshihito Isogawa, Mi 2 Tom, and other creators he found on YouTube. As a result, we haven’t done many of the tutorials in the Lego WeDo app, but skipped straight to the ambitious stuff. Liam’s not particularly strong at following instructions, and always wants to skip ahead. We started by getting just the smarthub, motor and sensors individually, and using them with our existing Lego at home. He loved his classes, but wanted to do more work with WeDo outside of class. Every week Liam built a new project, often an animal or a vehicle. Until he started there, we hadn’t even heard of this kit. Liam is in the second level of classes, where they use Lego WeDo 2.0. That has been such a great piece of luck! The weekend classes are tiny, so he gets to work one-on-one with a teacher and push the limits of the project. So we found out that they were also running classes at the local library on Saturday mornings. It booked out within a few hours, and Liam was really sad about missing out.

Bricks 4 Kidz began running some after school classes at his school in mid-2021. He has loved Lego for years, and been getting really interested in building and coding his other robots. Liam has been using Lego WeDo 2.0 for around 6 months.
