LEGO Master Builder Academy 3.3
Adventure Designer -- The Dark Lair

The LEGO Master Builder Academy is a series of specially designed LEGO sets that are intended to empower LEGO fans to design and build their own advanced LEGO models, using tips and techniques from LEGO Master Builders, the professionals who design all the LEGO sets sold around the world, and who create the giant LEGO models on display at LEGOLAND, LEGO stores, and LEGO events worldwide.

21st Century Kids LLC worked closely with LEGO to bring the Master Builder Academy to life as a series of engaging after-school programs and camps for kids. It’s an exclusive offering you won’t find elsewhere!

This is Course 3 of MBA Series 3, Adventure Designer, designed and differentiated for new and continuing students in grades K-6. Children learn how to implement new LEGO Master Builder techniques, including Villain Details and Large Elements, with a focus on how color and styling helps to define a character's personality.

Every child works with and takes home their own specially themed, multi-model LEGO MBA set! These sets are no longer commercially available and are among the best LEGO has ever produced. Designer Handbooks are provided as part of the kit and contain a wealth of information from LEGO and the Master Builders in addition to building instructions.

Building instructions for special "Springboard Models" are provided in the Designer Handbook along with inspiration to create new models:

In addition to LEGO building, children learn how the LEGO Master Builders design LEGO models and sets and get to develop and practice the valuable design skills on their own.

The LEGO Master Builder Academy is an amazing and very limited opportunity for children to further their interest in LEGO and to learn tips and techniques from the LEGO Master Builders.

Don't miss out, this exclusive course sequence will not be available much longer!

In Tournament Chess, children play chess to win! They explore and perfect the openings for White and Black, and learn valuable tactics through the lens of those openings. Puzzles are used to explain and reinforce the various tactics.

Emphasis is placed on attention to detail and commitment to practice. Students learn how to utilize chess notation, and are expected to notate their chess games to provide a reference that will help them develop and improve their game over time.

Tournament Chess is scheduled to be provided by a Master Instructor and is essential for students who aspire to participate on their school's academic chess team.
