LEGO® EDUCATION WORKSHOPS
At LEGOLAND® Dubai playful learning is the core of everything we do. Working with LEGO Education we’ve developed fun, hand-on programs for students aged 5-12 allowing them to build robots, learn how machines work or use LEGO bricks in storytelling. Plus each educational session is combined with an AWESOME day at the park allowing for even more fun learning.
