A program for the Gainesville community. Building Future leaders in STEM one brick at a time.
The Bricks & Minifigs Gainesville STEM Builders Club is a weekly, hands-on STEM program for elementary-aged students that uses LEGO bricks to make science, technology, engineering, and math engaging and memorable.
The program meets Wednesdays from 3:00-4:30 PM, beginning September 9, 2026, and follows a monthly STEM theme with seasonal and holiday activities. Sessions range from simple activities led by trained teen staff to more advanced, instructor-led challenges requiring adult guidance.
Sept. 9th: LEGO Volcano Lab - Students build a LEGO volcano around a small container and conduct a baking soda and vinegar eruption. The session emphasizes prediction, observation, and recording results.
Sept. 16th: LEGO Soil Layers - Students investigate soil as a layered natural resource and build a LEGO representation of a soil profile.
Sept. 23rd: LEGO Solar System - Students create a LEGO model of the solar system and explore the order of the planets, relative scale, and the concept of orbit.
Sept. 30th: LEGO Layers of the Earth - Students build a LEGO cross-section of Earth and explore the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The activity introduces the idea that scientists use evidence and models to understand parts of Earth that cannot be directly observed.
