Here’s a quick catch-up on our STEAM activities this past winter. We have had a great time building, creating and exploring with LEGO, KEVA Planks, Ozobots, Little Bits, Magformers and more. Here’s a photo journal of what we did.

The challenge was to build one of the 3 Little Pigs’ house and see if it could stand up to the Big Bad Wolf (a Sphero).
We had a small but creative group for LEGO Club this month. We can also include KEVA Planks in our building now, so it looks like I’m going to have to change the name of our program.
Our theme this month was Chocolate Bunnies (anything Easter or spring related). Here are some of the creative things that were built.
Next month’s theme…Wilderness Survival!
This month’s theme was Spring Break Adventures. Not many stuck with the theme, but everyone had a great time creating cool stuff.
(Sorry that there are no pictures of February’s Lego Club. I forgot the camera that day.)
We had another exciting LEGO Club this week. There were many creative creations, but I must admit that I was especially impressed by the spinning top and LEGO car ramp built by a few of the older boys. Great building everyone!!
(Video footage of the spinning top and car ramp in action failed to load. Sorry, guys.)
December LEGO Club was a blast! We didn’t really stick with the Winter Wonderland theme, but that’s the joy of free-building. You can go where your imagination takes you.
Next LEGO Club will be on Thursday, January 26 at 3:30. Registration will open on January 12.
Happy Holidays!
LEGO Club is for ages 5-12. Next time we meet is:
December 8 Theme: Winter Wonderland

November’s gathering was a lot of fun. Not only did we have LEGO, but we also got to play with KEVA planks. Thanks Science World for donating the planks to the ORL!
November’s theme was I Remember. See if you can find creations that followed the theme.
And here are pictures from our September (Pirates & Desert Islands) and October (Zombie Thanksgiving) gatherings.
The theme for this month was: Bridge Building Challenge. We had a great group and a lot of fun, but not many bridges were built (unless you count making new friends and working together…which I do!)
Here’s a look at what the group created.
(Apologies for blurry pictures. My camera is still causing trouble.)
So sorry for not getting these photos up sooner. I was having issues logging into my blog. It looks like all is running smoothly again, which means you can now see all the marvelous creations the kids made last November and December.
November Theme: Â Just Joking
December Theme: Winter Wonderland
Sorry for any blurry pictures. My camera is on the fritz.
Our first LEGO Building activity on December 10th was Wild, Wild West themed, and Mayor Nancy Cooper joined the group.
The theme for December 16th’s LEGO program was Sugarplum Visions.
