Event Description
Join the Brick Evolution Education Team for a hands‑on 4‑week Machines Class designed specifically for homeschool families. In this STEM‑focused program, students explore the mechanics behind real‑world movement using bricks and specialised elements, discovering how simple machines make everyday objects work.

Across four structured sessions, learners build and test models using levers, gears, pulleys and axles. Each week introduces a new mechanical concept through guided builds and small engineering challenges that help students understand how parts interact to create motion.

As the program progresses, students gain confidence experimenting, problem‑solving and refining their designs. In the final week, they apply everything they’ve learned to invent and build their own unique moving machine to take home. It’s real STEM education disguised as play — engaging, creative and perfectly suited to curious homeschool learners.

What to Expect:
• Build and experiment with levers, gears, pulleys and axles
• Learn how mechanical parts work and how to combine them to create movement
• Weekly engineering challenges that encourage creativity and persistence
• A final design challenge to invent and build a custom machine
• All building materials provided
• Relaxed, supportive environment tailored for homeschool families
• Guided instruction from trained, qualified staff with current working‑with‑children checks
• A take‑home build at the end of the program
