Lego Group (Grades K-3)
This is a year-round group that encourages communication and problem solving. In each Lego group, children are assigned a job for the day: either "engineer," "supplier," or "builder."

The group leader coaches children in developing these skills while the children think they are just having fun!Social Thinking (Ages 9-12)
