Snapology was created by two sisters who observed the love their children and nephews had for creative play using building blocks and other materials that snap together.  The idea of offering enrichment classes and camps to teach science, mathematics, technology and literacy concepts excited them given both of their backgrounds in mathematics and science. 

Snapology...what's that?
Snapology is the science of snapping toys together.  Well, ok, not really.  Snapology is the name we came up with to describe a new learning concept that combines play with education.  

We provide a fun environment for children to learn math, science, technology, engineering and literacy concepts using Lego® bricks and other similar building tools.

Playing with Lego® bricks is educational, get out!
That's right!  The children will have so much fun, they won't even realize they're learning.  In our classes and camps, the children are guided by instructors through an interactive lesson followed by model building and/or computer work.  

What else can you tell me about how this will benefit my child?
Since the children typically work in teams, they also work on social skills as they make new friends.  Our programs are designed to inspire creativity and promote teamwork.

Who are the two sisters that started Snapology?
I'm glad you asked.
