The fun, hands-on and social way to learn science, tech & engineering
Using what kids love (Lego!) to motivate, engage and help them learn the way Allah created them to (through curiosity!)
😍🎉👏
Are you a home-educator, like us, and want your children to love learning and enjoy their education?
Do you want your children to have real-life experiences, to learn-by-doing and be motivated by their natural curiosity?
Providing everything your child needs, all on your own, is hard, stressful and exhausting. 😔
Parenting is a huge job in itself, and with other children to care for, shopping, cooking, cleaning and working as well, our dreams for home schooling can start to get lost and confused.
As parents of 4 children, home-educating since 2009, we faced the same problem, especially when our children entered the pre-teen and teen years. 😅
The curriculum takes over, with tuition, online classes and bookwork becoming priority, as we worry about the exams and futures of our children. 😔
But our young students are still children, and all the traditional academic, sit-down-at-the-table work steals their creativity, curiosity and leaves them frustrated, sometimes unhappy and with lots of pent-up energy.
The truth is children learn best when they:
- enjoy what they’re learning ☺️
- use their hands with practical work 🙌
- think for themselves to explore, experiment and investigate 🧠
😎😎😎
And with their growing minds, budding independence and desire to build their own identities, you’ll notice, like we did, that our older children need:
- More social time
- More trusted teachers
- More independence
👏👏👏
That’s why we launched STEM Lego Club back in 2018 🎉
Successfully running it for 2 seasons in Bordesley Green. Our many, many happy students learned through play, creativity, challenges and teamwork, building Lego bridges, speed testing Lego vehicles, brainstorming creative Lego designs and so much more. 😍
But in 2019 we had to say goodbye to Lego Club as we took time off for other projects and to grow and develop our own family. Both students and parents, were sad to lose our much loved Club.
But, with lockdowns hopefully a thing of the past, with the new school year in full throttle, and another pre-teen son and daughter of our own, we decided now was the right time to bring STEM Lego Club back!
🎉
In our new, easily accessed location in Nechells, our STEM Lego Club students can spark their love for science, tech, engineering and maths, in a fun, relaxed and social environment.
With plenty of hands-on, learn-by-doing challenges, students will:
- Test & investigate
- Solve problems
- Learn core physics & engineering principles
- Work in teams and independently

FAQ
Dr Uthman Khan would love to, but sadly is unable to do that right now. He may run one session inshaAllah, so make dua! I (Mariya) have lots of experience working with children (and parents!) and cant wait to inspire your children to learn and grow confident inshaAllah.
I understand the importance of giving our children different experiences and seeing what they enjoy. I would love to offer that with STEM Lego Club in the future, but unfortunately right now, the sessions are booked on 6 week commitment, so that each child can complete the full curriculum. STEM Lego Club is best for children who love Lego already. If that’s your child, Im pretty confident they’ll be more than happy to come for every session inshaAllah!
Refunds will only be offered if we have to cancel the sessions.
STEM Lego Club are drop off sessions only.
The Wisdom Centre is a masjid too. STEM Lego Club will be held in a classroom, but you can wait for your child in the masjid prayer hall, in the car park or if the weather is good, there is a playground across the road too!
