Developing science skills brick by brick

The local company is offering two individual sessions on Sunday, March 15, and Sunday, March 22 (1pm-4pm) where children aged over eight can build specific working models which will be then programmed by the participants using robotic software.

Co-owner Mark Pullen said: “Kinesthetic learning - learning by doing - is an awesome method to help young people grasp the basic fundamentals of science and we think that combining this with LEGO bricks provides a fantastic opportunity to really engage with the subject.”

Both sessions will be held in the Central Brighouse Scout HQ, on Atlas Mill Road.

The sessions are £10 each with a reduction to £15 if both are booked.
