Program benefits
1. Creativity and Imagination: Techkis encourages open-ended play, allowing children to build anything they can imagine. This fosters creativity as they explore various configurations and designs.
2. Problem-Solving Skills: Programs involves problem-solving, as children figure out how to turn their ideas into reality. They learn to overcome challenges such as structural stability and design constraints.
3. Fine Motor Skills. Programs help kids develop fine motor skills, as children grasp, connect, and stack pieces together. This enhances hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
4. Spatial Awareness. Understanding spatial relationships and visualizing how pieces fit together in three-dimensional space. This improves spatial awareness and geometric understanding.
5. Persistence and Resilience. Building complex LEGO sets can be challenging, teaching children perseverance and resilience as they work through difficulties and setbacks.
6. Collaboration and Communication. Programs encourage teamwork and social interaction when children build together. They learn to share ideas, negotiate roles, and communicate effectively to achieve a common goal.
7. STEM Learning. LEGO sets often incorporate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) concepts, exposing children to these fields in a hands-on, engaging way. They learn about principles such as physics, engineering, and architecture.
8. Storytelling Skills. Creations can inspire imaginative storytelling. Children develop narrative skills as they invent scenarios and characters to accompany their builds.
9. Self-Esteem and Confidence. Completing projects boosts children's self-esteem and confidence in their abilities. They feel a sense of accomplishment and pride in their creations.
10. Critical Thinking. As children experiment with different building techniques and solve design challenges, they engage in critical thinking processes, evaluating options and making decisions.
