2:30 PM CST (1430S)

An online, hands-on LEGO building workshop for military youth ages 4-10.

A creative facilitator will lead military kids through an engaging live web-based workshop using a LEGO® kit and imagination. First, all youth will follow the instructor to build the same LEGO® creation. Then, the youth will have time to make additions or build their own masterpiece to show the other workshop participants! Each family will receive one LEGO® kit in the mail!

If your family registered for the private sessions with TSC, RTC, Lovell FHHC, or ILARNG Family Programs, please do not register for this session.
