Lobby your School
Another option is to direct your child's teachers to my site and encourage the school to book one of my sessions or purchase LEGO® and implement a program in the school.
Where schools are considering purchasing LEGO® Education resources I am available for in-school appointments and staff meetings to demonstrate the LEGO® resources, discuss your equipment requirements, curriculum implementation and usage, formulate quotations and action your order.
Due to my strategic alliance with Moore Educational I am able to provide this service free to schools who are considering purchasing LEGO® and are situated within the Melbourne Metropolitan area.
Purchase LEGO® , including individual spare parts
If you are after a superb range of regular or hard-to find LEGO® to purchase (including those pesky spare parts and the sets used in schools!) Moore Educational sells a full range and is well worth a visit to the centre. Click here to visit their web site.
