Hands-On STEM Starts Here: LEGO® Education at Mission Hills

Every student, Kindergarten through 8th grade, now learns with LEGO® Education kits — building real skills in science, computer science, programming, and artificial intelligence, one grade at a time.

Grades K–2

Hands-On Science Discovery

Our youngest learners explore real science concepts — simple machines, forces, motion, and structures — by building and testing their own LEGO® models. Ideas like gravity, balance, and cause-and-effect stop being abstract and become something they can hold in their hands.

What students build: levers, pulleys, wheels and axles, simple structures, and early engineering challenges designed just for K–2 learners.

Grades 3–8

Computer Science, Programming & AI

Students move into LEGO® Education's programmable robotics platforms, learning to code — first block-based, then text-based — while building and programming their own robots. As they advance, students are introduced to core AI concepts, including sensors, data, and how machines make decisions.

What students build: programmable robots, sensor-driven inventions, and guided AI projects that grow more advanced each year through 8th grade.

Why LEGO® Education

1

Learn by Building

Students understand concepts by physically building and testing them — not just reading or watching.

2

Real-World Skills

Engineering, coding, computational thinking, and problem-solving — skills students will use well beyond the classroom.

3

One Continuous Journey

A single program that grows with each student, from first simple machines in Kindergarten to AI-driven robotics in 8th grade.

Watch The Program In Action

The videos below are official LEGO® Education program videos that show these kits and lessons in action — they are not filmed at Mission Hills, but they show exactly what your student will be building and coding.
