Parent and Child LEGO Build Afternoon, Greystones

What to Expect

Young Engineers Wicklow runs a Parent and Child Build Afternoon in Greystones on Friday, 14 August 2026, from 5:30pm to 6:30pm, with a parent and their child working together on LEGO engineering challenges for the hour. The format is built around teamwork rather than free play, with each pair given a construction problem to solve together, run by the STEM Academy Ireland franchise that delivers the Young Engineers programme across Wicklow.

The listing describes it as one of multiple sessions the organiser runs through the year rather than a single fixture, though only this date is currently open for booking. Spaces are limited and no refunds are given once booked, so families should confirm their slot in advance.

Young Engineers is a franchised STEM programme that normally runs term-time robotics and engineering classes for school-age children using LEGO components, and this parent and child session is a one-off spin on that format aimed at building something together rather than a child attending alone. It suits families looking for a short, structured activity on a Friday evening rather than a full afternoon out, and the LEGO-based format means no prior engineering experience is expected from either the parent or the child. STEM Academy Ireland runs the Young Engineers franchise at several locations, with Greystones one of its regular Wicklow venues.
