Play-Well TEKnologies 

Level up your engineering skills with Play-Well TEKnologies and tens of thousands of LEGO® parts! Apply real-world concepts in physics, engineering, and architecture through engineer-designed projects such as Motorcycles, Air Craft Carriers, and Conveyor Belts! Design and build as never before and explore your craziest ideas. New and returning students can explore the endless creative possibilities of the LEGO® building system.

About the Organization: 
-We have outstanding instructors. They teach year-round and make the curriculum their own, so that each program is a uniquely fun experience. We bring A LOT of LEGO®. With over 20,000 pieces in each class/ camp, and hundreds of projects, there is no limit to what you can build.

- We teach through play. We explore, solve problems, and express ourselves through LEGO. Our curriculum is designed by engineers and refined by teachers, but the kids just think it's fun!

- We are not a franchise organization. Play-Well's founder and president, Tim Bowen, maintains a high level of quality by keeping our programs "in-house" and visiting in person with instructors from all over the country.
