About this Event

Invent the Future with LEGO: Code Meets Design Thinking

Combine software, hardware and the power of design thinking to invent the future! Tinkering with LEGO and Scratch, create your very own product prototypes as you explore how tech might be deployed to make a positive impact and tackle some of the world’s most exciting challenges.

KEEPIN’ IT SHORT & SNAPPY

Suitable for kids with Scratch experience (Start with Scratch or equivalent)
Build creative confidence and problem-solving abilities with LEGO and Scratch
Learn about design thinking and apply it to the world’s most exciting challenges

All you need to know

The future is a blank slate, and with the superpowers of code and design thinking, it’s yours to invent!

Introducing kids to the design thinking framework, kids will apply the process to reimagine the future and brainstorm solutions to some of the world’s big problems, simultaneously building their creative confidence as they use LEGO and Scratch to prototype solutions.

First, kids will explore the future of design and build wearable technology prototypes using LEGO.

Next, kids’ll take a closer look at how the nature of work and industry are changing. From baking to selling bubble tea, pretty much no industry will remain untouched by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

After learning about how tech might augment operations in different industries, combine code and LEGO to create your own prototype and invent a tech-enabled solution that’ll enable your favourite local business to do what they do better.

How will life at home change in the future? Having spent months sheltering in place because of the pandemic, we bet you’ve got lots of ideas up your sleeve!

Digital Lock for your house gate

Brainstorm and explore aspects of home life that can be improved with tech to make domestic living more accessible and efficient for people of all physical abilities. Programme inventions like a ‘smart’ gate that detect movement and respond automatically.

As the way we live, work, and play changes, so does our impact on the environment. How might tech help us reverse global warming, and how might we save humanity?!

Tesla founder Tesla entrepreneur Elon Musk has suggested moving to Mars… with LEGO we playfully imagine what that might look like, synthesising hardware and software in the process.

On the last day of class, showcase * your * inventions at the Inventor’s Fair!

Now that coding is your superpower – what will you use it for? Go forth and boldly invent the future, and be sure to make it better not just for yourself but for others.

Oh! The stuff you'll learn

Apply design thinking process to better understand and brainstorm solutions to the world’s big problems

Combine hardware and software (LEGO and Scratch) to prototype products that make life better, ranging from wearable technology to smart homes, and more!

Articulate your thoughts and ideas and present your projects

Build collaboration and communication skills with newfound friends!

Develop an understanding of how different mechanisms in hardware work together
