About LEGO Education Center (LEC)
Crestar Education Group is
appointed by LEGO Education, Denmark, to operate exclusively
a network of LEGO Education Centers (LEC) in Singapore.
The first LEC located at Marine Parade, was launched
in November 2004. First of its kind in South East Asia,
the Center also houses the latest LEGO® MINDSTORMS®
For Schools room, offering LEGO Robotics activities.
Recognizing childrens natural
talent as self-directed learners, LEC creates a learning
environment filled with open-ended activities built
on choice and diversity. Its education programmes are
based on an effective learning process of Connect, Construct,
Contemplate and Continue. LEC offers a comprehensive
range of programmes for preschoolers to teenagers to
use their creativity and natural curiosity through hands-on
experiences. They assist students to explore concepts
of machines, mechanics and robotics. The lessons and
products are designed and packaged for specific learning
targets for maths, science, design and technology.
For young children, the LEC programmes will promote
creation through play, opening multiple paths to creativity
and learning. At the LEGO MINDSTORMS For Schools room,
students will explore, build and make their LEGO creations
or robots alive. Students will gain an understanding
of important scientific and engineering concepts, involving
sensing, feedback and control.
