A Creatineers LEGO Animation Class

Lights, Bricks, Action! A Creatineers LEGO Animation Class

In “Lights, Bricks, Action! A Creatineers LEGO Animation Class,” students discover an exciting, hands-on way to transform their ideas into mini-movies. Working together, they develop stories, design LEGO®️ sets, and bring characters to life through stop-motion animation. Throughout the process, students explore the basics of storytelling, experiment with sound effects, and refine their creative thinking—one frame at a time. As they build and animate with their classmates, they naturally strengthen communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. By the end of the class, they’ll have produced a short film they can proudly share, highlighting their growth, creativity, and newfound confidence.

Basketball
