About
Kidizens has children build, inhabit, manage, and govern small-scale LEGO cities using countless LEGO bricks. Participants take on city planning and infrastructure planning, including flood, sewer, and utilities management, and they respond to situations such as building a new highway, reacting to a city emergency, or making budget decisions. They also role-play as mayors, entrepreneurs, and other important city leaders, serve on a city council, propose laws and amendments, campaign for city council, hold elections, debate from the floor of a city council chamber, and build cities with facilities.
• Ages: 5–12 years old
• Schedule: Camp hours run from 9am to 3pm, with sessions ranging from 1 to 10 days for Young Mayors (Build-A-City) LEGO Camps, 1 to 5 days for school break camps, 10 to 12 weeks for off-site after-school workshops, 1 to 3 weeks for special theme-based workshops, and single-day options for birthday parties, Kids Night Out/Club Kidizens, and science nights and fairs; homeschool and after-school classes run 14 weeks in fall and 18 weeks in spring.

Kidizens states that its mission is to inspire children to develop the 21st century real-life skills they need in order to become good citizens, be civically engaged, and be responsible future leaders of tomorrow. Kidizens has been operating under the copyright Kidizens, Kidzz, Inc. since 2010 and offers age-appropriate program options including homeschool and after-school classes, camps, workshops, birthday parties, and community offerings. The program has run workshops such as a Kidizens Workshop at Imagination Lab School in Palo Alto and has hosted a Spring Leadership Camp in Los Altos, as well as announcing Kidizens Summer Camps 2025 and Spring Camp 2025 and an expansion of its summer camp to San Jose with a new location.
Parent and educator testimonials describe children learning about how cities work, voting, community development, financing and budgeting, collaboration, communication, negotiation, and topics such as flood and sewer management, utilities, campaigning for city council, and elections through a learn-by-doing approach. Testimonials also mention kids reacting to events like floods, worker strikes, and decisions about building features such as a quidditch field next to a large toy store, and note that children participate in both in-person and virtual camps, after-school classes, and workshops. Educators from schools such as Phillips Brooks School and Ohlone Elementary have provided positive feedback about Kidizens workshops, and parents report that their children enjoy the creativity, structure, and interaction involved in planning, discussions, and LEGO city building.
