BUILD-A-SHIP TO LEARN-A-LOT PROGRAM
The TEACH FLEET LEGO® "Build-A-Ship to Learn-A-Lot" workshop is a hands on learning activity that is perfect for any informal learning environment for all ages. It's been proven to be a popular family activity at large public events and venues.
It's a fun way to create conversations about our environment, ships and technology in a way that explains the relationship between technology and the environment. It's also a family activity where children and parents can work together to build and learn.
