This class was a good chance to express what was in my mind by using Lego pieces to make anything I wanted. I was glad that we got to build whatever we wanted to.... Mr. Barry was nice, helpful, and if we needed to find a piece he would find it for us. He also gave us lots of tips, including substituting pieces if we ran out. Can't wait until my next class. - AB

My son's favorite store, hands down! He has taken several classes throughout the summer and loved every one of them from the space camp and a technic class to a full week of mindstorm. Dean is always so helpful and positive with the kids and you can tell he loves it just as much as the kids. I was pleasantly surprised to find not only an excellent selection of LEGO sets but the prices are very competitive. - Kris

[My son] really enjoyed the programming and robotics. I would love to see a continuation of that class that he could pursue, building on what he learned with you in the last class. This to me would be an incredible way to keep applying the knowledge learned while building even more knowledge. Then when he does have his own Mindstorms he can truly utilize it. Thanks for all you do Dean!! - Naomie

[My son] really enjoyed his first class on 6/12. It has opened his imagination to the possibilities of creation from simple sets, not only the bigger sets. He looks forward to his next class in July! - Ame_T
