Founded 2011, BRICKSNGEARS is providing an extraordinary atmosphere for children, where we build, play and learn with LEGO® technical parts and Education Solutions. Programs are designed to teach fundamentals and interest of S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) with hands-on learning and experimenting.
We believe that children learn best through activities that engage their curiosity and creativity. Its principal, Hazel Lim obtained her Bachelor Degree of Electrical & Electronics Engineering with flying colors from University of Putra Malaysia in Year 2006, and started her teaching career with Children’s Technology Workshop in early Year 2008, and was General Manager of The X Factory Year 2014 – 2016. She has 10 years in education and still counting.
She believes the importance of soft skills is often undervalued, and there is far less training provided than hard skills. Besides technical skill and STEM knowledge, BRICKSNGEARS also looks into developing interpersonal skill such as: - Optimism & Responsibility - Empathy & Good Manner - Communication Skill & Sociability - Teamwork & Leadership - Logic Thinking & Problem Solving Skill. She is also taking Certificate of Education with Special Needs at DiKA College starting Year 2018.

Welcome to the wonderful world of LEGO® Technic! Kids build and investigate machines and mechanisms with technical parts customised for education.
As they progress to more complex constructions, their understanding of design technology and engineering will be enhanced.
Take LEGO¨ to the next level - program and control robots! LEGO® Education WeDo enables kids to bring their models to life using simple drag-and-drop software.
As they become more expert, kids advance to LEGO® MINDSTORMS, where they build robots and use software to plan, test and modify their robotic inventions.
It is a competition-format of program where kids learn to effectively design and program a BattleBot capable of performing well, using LEGO® Mindstorm parts and its programming software that will withstand challenges from other bots in group.
Kids gain critical and tactical thinking skills as they overcome various challenges and tasks using logic and rational planning game strategies.
Combining logic and reasoning with playfulness and imagination.
Mastering a tool and giving form to thoughts.
Combining, exploring and transforming ideas and objects.
Constructing things in the real world, and in this way constructing knowledge in their minds.
Making their mark and expressing their originality in the learning environment.
Feeling ownership and taking charge, being proactive and internally driven.
Learning from interpreted experiences and explanations of other people, including peers and experts.
Reflecting upon an experience, discussing why and how things worked to accomplish a goal.
Helping each other to learn, each according to their ability, through the shared language of LEGO® bricks.
A new concept is connected to previous knowledge with the children at the start of every activity. They are encouraged to ask questions and explore ideas around the creative challenge presented to them, THeir curiousity and interest are awakened.
While constructing physical objects using LEGO bricks, children simultaneously "CONSTRUCT" knowledge in their minds. Doing this collaboratively with others, the children get to hine their comunication and cooperative skills at the same time.
Children are guided to reflect upon what they learned and share insights obtained during the CONSTRUCT phase. Facilitating questions are designed to help them gain awareness of the process and explore new ways to go about finding solutions.
Every LEGO task ends with a new task that builds on what has been learned. This phase designed to keep the learner in a 'State of Flow'. The Flow is an optimal state of intrinsic motivation, where a person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing.
