About
Kidizens offers hands-on activities where children build small-scale cities with LEGO bricks and then inhabit, manage, and govern those cities. Participants role-play as mayors and entrepreneurs, serve on a city council, and take part in activities such as building a new highway, electing a new official, making budget decisions, reacting to a city emergency, proposing laws, offering amendments, and debating from the floor of a city council chamber. The program includes city planning and infrastructure topics such as flood and sewer management and utilities, as well as campaigning for city council, elections, community development, financing and budgeting, marketing, negotiation, collaboration, communication, cooperative law making, and building a city with facilities in a LEGO camp.
• Ages: 5–12 years old
• Schedule: Camp hours run from 9am to 3pm, with session lengths ranging from 1 to 10 days for Young Mayors (Build-A-City) LEGO Camps, 1 to 5 days for school break camps, 14-week fall and 18-week spring homeschool and after-school classes, 10 to 12 weeks for off-site after-school workshops, and 1 to 3 weeks for special theme-based workshops; birthday parties, Kids Night Out, Club Kidizens, and science nights and fairs are offered as 1-day sessions.

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. The organization has been operating under the Kidizens, Kidzz, Inc. copyright since 2010. Its offerings include age-appropriate classes, camps, workshops, birthday parties, community offerings, Young Mayors (Build-A-City) LEGO Camps, and Kidizens Online classes in a highly creative, collaborative, and engaging project-based learning environment that uses an immersive LEGO city framework and a city-building framework to understand how societies form, function, and evolve. The program emphasizes collaborative learning through group decision-making, a focus on social emotional growth and leadership skills, project-based learning and self-confidence building, and empowering kids to make choices and craft their own story in a highly immersive, experiential learning environment with more than a thousand square feet of green building space and countless LEGO bricks.
Kidizens has provided curriculum and resources for students at Phillips Brooks School and has delivered a learning experience to a class at Ohlone Elementary. Parent and teacher testimonials describe children learning about how cities work, how voting works, city planning and infrastructure, flood and sewer management, utilities, campaigning for city council and elections, community development, financing and budgeting, collaboration, communication, negotiation, budgets, civics, making choices, financial choices, marketing, and cooperative law making. Testimonials also mention kids building cities with facilities in a LEGO camp, responding to events such as floods and worker strikes, and engaging with issues like where to place a quidditch field next to a large toy store. Several parents and educators report that their children or students enjoyed the interaction, planning, discussions, LEGO building, and the structure and goals behind what they were building, in both in-person and virtual formats.
