The Golden Age Program
Therapeutic & Social LEGO® for Senior Citizens and Intergenerational Events
Reconnect Through Play
Our Golden Age program uses LEGO® to bring generations together and provide enriching, hands-on experiences for senior citizens. Whether in aged care communities, local libraries, or intergenerational events, this program is designed to spark joy, stimulate memory, and promote wellbeing.
Each participant receives a special Young Engineers LEGO® kit and follows step-by-step visual guides to build motorised models. Guided by a certified facilitator, the sessions encourage creativity, problem-solving, and fine motor development—all while having fun.
Who It’s For
- Senior citizens in aged care, community, or retirement centres
- Multi-generational family events (grandparents and grandchildren)
- Community groups and inclusive learning initiatives
Why It Works
LEGO® is a timeless tool—familiar, creative, and hands-on. It opens the door to engaging cognitive activity, therapeutic benefits, and shared experiences. Our Golden Age workshops help:
- Improve dexterity and fine motor skills
- Encourage social connection and group interaction
- Stimulate memory and problem-solving through hands-on building
- Foster family bonds across generations
What Happens in a Session
- Participants receive a LEGO® engineering kit and visual instructions
- A certified Young Engineers facilitator guides the session
- Together, participants build a working motorised model
- Sessions end with group sharing, celebration, and reflection

Our programs speak for themselves, but our parents say it best. From increased focus to visible excitement, hear how Young Engineers is changing the way children engage with learning.
My boys can tell when someone has real passion for what they are doing and sharing. The boys response was Mr Wong and Jack really like kids. Loved it.

Elliot has continued to talk about how fun Engineering Camp was. A wonderful camp and he will be attending again in the future.

Fantastic experience for young minds. Nate had an absolute blast and cannot wait to do it again next year. He is still talking about it nearly 2 weeks later. Thank you.

My 2 kids had a blast. 3 Lego builds in a day, they couldn’t get enough. My 10 year old enjoyed ‘modifying’ the build outside of the scripted instructions. Great way to encourage innovation. Keep that bit up!!

Our children had a great time and were able to explain the tasks and their projects to us very confidently when we arrived to pick them up. While we obviously didn’t see the whole day and progression of instruction by staff, it appeared there were elements of problem- based learning as well as foundational instruction and we liked this very much. We also liked the small, intimate nature of the group.
