Build Anything with LEGO®

Mentors are JAM’s version of a teacher. They’re experts in their fields and generously share what they know. Through them Jammers get a glimpse into the life of a pro.

Hi, I'm your mentor, Grant Davis. I love using LEGO bricks in surprising ways. I am a regular builder for BrickCon where I make large-scale builds, and I have my own YouTube channel.

Nikki W.

So far JAM has been great. It is a little scary for me to encourage children to post things on the internet. Letting my daughter post videos took me a little getting used to but I now realize JAM is a secure environment. My daughter loves it and I love that I get an email for each post. Thank you for the program!

My daughter did the first 2 projects before she had to leave for camp and she was raving about it. I like that they can progress at their own speed and take the year to complete it. The feedback is great and the kids really feel involved.

Victoria G.

My son was excited to see the things he would build in the engineering project and had fun getting items around the house to create his own project. What I really like is that JAM wants kids to share their failures. I think there is so much pressure in the rest of the world to be perfect but JAM's acceptance of failures helps kids to think through a problems and solve them.

The work is all fun. There's a lot to do. You get to pick which project you do when. There's always the option of inspiration from other people because there are so many posts.

The online environment is safe and minimizes imitation of social media communities. Curriculum is solid.

Gabriela V.

JAM is fantastic. I am the mother of a high-functioning autistic kid and I often struggle to find something that interests him and keeps him learning. Your website was just what I was looking for. The video lengths are perfect and the clear explanations works wonders with children on the autism spectrum!

Donalee K.

My grandkids and I loved building the first ramp. It's so good to put down the devices and pick up cardboard and create together!! Thanks.

Josephine C.

My daughter is doing Drawing Bootcamp and the projects put a fun twist on creating. Before JAM she enjoyed drawing and creating, but wasn't always aware of what to do or create. JAM generates fun ideas for her that are easy to complete so she feels a sense of accomplishment.

Angela D.

Tennessee

It's been fun so far. Great experience for my son. There are not many opportunities to do things like this in our community, so I would recommend it to other creative kids.

Chelsea J.

We homeschool. My kids can experience drawing instruction from home- no driving to a class, it can be completed in our own time, and it's affordable.

Czarina L.

It's fun and easy to use, my 9 and 6 year old do it and there is always feedback and help on line. They said they love how many ideas they get from one concept and they still have freedom to work from there. Thanks for JAM!

My daughter jumped right in! So far, it has been a great start.

After two weeks the kids are still really interested in making more engineering masterpieces. Their bedroom has become one enormous marble run using books, bits of LEGO, cushions, and random things from the kitchen. I can totally see this craze lasting for months! Thanks!

My daughter loves the projects, is inspired by other kid's work and has been drawing loads since we joined. She also loves doing the videos. Before JAM there wasn't a safe platform for her to do this on. I am reassured by the lengths you go to to keep the kids safe.

Vivian V.

Cynthia D.

Kids are enjoying it! I was a little surprised by the video-upload aspect, but it's motivating for the kids. We have been jumping around from activity to activity. It has gotten us doing a lot of "inventing" and tinkering and I'm pretty pleased!

April P.

My daughter loves Jam. I think any kid could benefit from the various classes you have available. Something for everyone. :)

Niki N.

My daughter is doing the Drawing Bootcamp. She loves the fact that she can work independently. I love the fact that I don't have to drive her from class to class. She enjoys sharing her work online with others in the class and see their reactions. It allows a lot of room for creativity.

Raquel B.

We are an autonomous education family, and we had been struggling to help our son fulfill his ambition of becoming an online Minecraft Show host - then along came JAM! He is so happy, switched on, and interested. Already his confidence has grown, his imagination is broadening, and he is even planning future shows! We love it!

Kids can do JAM at home without parents having to drive everywhere. I like feedback in addition to the convenience.

I believe that this kind of online, intrest-led learning is a valuable resource that gives kids what they need to thrive in the 21st century.

Amanda R.

My son is an academic outlier. We've been searching for a mentor for him. Finding someone with time, affordability, etc...is difficult. Jam is a fantastic solution to this!

Kylie M.

My daughter ADORES her drawing course! She is so engaged and the feedback inspires her to try harder every time.

Carmela B.

It is a fresh way to look at things. It has a lot more to do with the way my daughter thinks and with what she naturally does than all those textbooks and theory.

Brandy K.

Tennessee

We are raising kids in a small town in a school system that revolves around sports which my child cares nothing about. This has been great for my daughter to help with her self confidence in her own art and uplifting others by commenting on their art.

Pedagogy

3x More Learning

We don't lecture kids at JAM. Research shows that doing activities and receiving feedback is more effective than listening to a lecture – as much as 3x more effective! This is according to research conducted by Eric Mazur at Harvard; Nobel Prize winner Carl Wieman at Stanford; and Kelly Hogan at UNC Chapel Hill. Unlike most other online learning services where students work alone, at JAM, kids share each other's passion for what they're learning and are eager to give and receive feedback. Doing JAM projects will give your kid unique opportunities to try something new, with the added bonus of getting to meet others they can learn from and teach. The knowledge they gain on JAM will last for many years to come because it's rooted in a positive social experience. There’s no learning by cramming or memorization here. Instead, it's just a perfect circle of trying, failing, collaborating and growing.
