About

Play-Well Enrichment Programs offers LEGO-inspired engineering classes for kids that include Engineering with LEGO enrichment programs, Play-Well Engineering classes, Adventures in STEM, and STEM Explorations. In these classes, students explore concepts in physics, architecture, mechanical engineering, and structural engineering through design and building assignments, challenges, performance testing, competitions, and modifications to projects. Each meeting begins with a short discussion and demonstration of the day’s topic, and students work individually, in teams, and as a group using tens of thousands of LEGO pieces, with all materials provided each week and no LEGO pieces sent home.

• Ages: 5–13 years old
• Schedule: Classes typically meet once per week before or after school for an entire quarter (Fall/Winter/Spring), and sessions are generally 90 minutes.
• Price: Pricing varies based on area, course being offered, number of sessions, etc.

According to the mission statement, Play-Well TEKnologies aims to offer an environment where students can create without fear of mistakes, explore fundamental STEM concepts through play, and express their creativity in ways they never thought possible. Instructors have varied careers and educational backgrounds, including mechanical engineering, architecture, biology, art, geology, education, and civil engineering, and an assistant instructor may be added at Play-Well’s discretion. The leadership team includes President Tim Bowen, Vice President of Administration and Human Resources Meredith Bowen, Vice President of Operations Jennifer Gaona, Regional Managers Mike Spee, Michael Beddall, Tasha Rodriguez, and Chrissy Close, and Office and Administrative Manager Devon Lee.

Parents have shared that their children enjoyed the Engineering with LEGO classes, Play-Well Engineering classes, and Play-Well camps, and they commented on instructors being well-organized, fun, and “so cool with the kids.” Testimonials describe children building motorized cars, pulley-driven projects, and other creations at home after attending, and note that classes “completely met and exceeded” expectations. One parent stated that the class “works with all sorts of kids” and that the children “LOVE the creativity,” while others said their children could not wait to attend each week and planned to return for future programs.
