WORKSHOPS FOR EVERY LEVEL
Run by qualified KAPLA instructors, our workshops are designed to keep the children highly engaged in their task, improve their self-confidence, reach their goals and have fun!
In addition to fostering self-expression and creativity, the Happy Builder workshops support learning the fundamental concepts of shapes and volumes, geometry and physics through manipulation and experimentation.
During our workshops, students develop team-building and social emotional skills by working towards the common goal of building a giant structure together.
Happy Builder programs are set out to explicitly promote a strengths-based approach and to focus on teamwork, managing emotions and increasing resilience.
All of our programs can be fully tailored to suit your needs, age-level and curriculum requirements. They can cater for a single class to a full school. Just give us the number of students and their age range, we will tailor a program that will match your needs!
