Math

Enhance your mathematical reasoning skills with Bricklayer. The creation of the geometric patterns involves the understanding of coordinate systems, sequences, modular arithmetic, and symmetry. It's an engaging environment for developing the spatial and visual reasoning abilities that underly advanced mathematics.

Coding

Learn the increasingly important skill of coding. Bricklayer programs are written in a general-purpose functional programming language, called SML. Our web app, Bricklayer-Lite (implemented using the Blockly library developed by Google) provides a visual block-based coding environment in which one can create a more basic set of Bricklayer programs.

Art

Express yourself in a new way. Bricklayer libraries provide support for creating 2D and 3D block-based artifacts. Problem-solving and math are used to exercise creative and artistic skills in a fun and innovative environment. Bricklayer integrates with third-party software including: LEGO Digital Designer, LDraw, Minecraft, and 3D Builder.
