LEGO HEAVEN!!!

We just signed our son up for Play-Well TEKnologies Lego camp again this summer.  He had a blast last summer, and this time he is taking the class with a friend - added bonus!!  If your child likes building things - this is the camp for them!  You get to "design and build motorized machines, catapults, pyramids, demolition derby cards, buildings and other constructions out of LEGO® bricks. While exploring engineering, architecture and physics, students will develop problem solving and critical thinking skills." The instructors bring in 1000s of LEGO® bricks, wheels, motors, you name it (all immaculately organized, I might add), and the kids learn all sorts of engineering and physics concepts.   

I had originally found out about this class from a friend of mine who home schools her son.  One day she said, "Oh, gotta get going!  We have our Lego class!"  "Lego class?!?!?"  I thought.  "That sounds like to coolest thing ever!"  So, I checked it out - and sure enough, Play-Well TEKnologies is all over the place - so I bet there is a class or camp near you.  Here's their website:
