Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities is excited to announce an invitation for matches to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) through the LEGO BricQ Motion Sets!
WHO: Any Big & Little excited to explore STEAM!
WHAT: Bigs will pick up a LEGO BricQ Motion set from the BBBS office to keep at their home. Bigs are encouraged to bring the LEGO set with them during their outings with their Little. Matches will need to complete at least three of the included lessons designed by LEGO before the series ends in June 2023 (though you can complete as many as you’d like!). Matches will also participate in a pre- and post-series survey to measure the growth of their understanding of STEAM and its impact on their match.
WHEN: LEGO sets can be picked up beginning March 2023. Matches have until June 1st, 2023 to complete three LEGO builds. BBBS staff will reach out to all registered Bigs to arrange a time to pick up your LEGO set from the BBBS office.
WHERE: Matches should complete their LEGO builds during their regularly-scheduled outings together, though you’re welcome to work on your builds at any of our monthly Match Hangouts!
WHY: Through participation in this series, matches will also get first access to STEAM-focused events, including a celebration at the Mall of America!
