Class Experience

In this weekly club, we build creations from the interlocking brick sets we already have. (You might have any number of brands, so we will call the bricks with dimples that now include movie characters and robotics themes, "Interlocking bricks" to not give preference to any brands.) Everyone can have their own set. In fact, what makes this super fun is to see everyone's interlocking brick sets. 

So with the interlocking bricks you already have, and love, come socialize with like-minded kids. 

The skills we develop include transitions from listening to talking and talking to listening, speaking to a group, 5W and H questions, and creative fun. 

One of the best skills to learn is how to create, describe, and refine. 

So come along and try a club. You can hop in and hop out as you see fit. We are always happy to greet new faces with wonderful and clever building ideas!

The class schedule is consistent and the variation comes from learner inventions and creations. Each week consists of greetings, building, and show and tell.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hi! I’m Andrew Semotiuk and my students call me Dr. Drew. I teach creative, hands-on classes that help kids express themselves through storytelling, expressive drawing, and bookmaking. Whether we’re designing characters or binding our own storybooks, I love guiding learners through the process of turning their ideas into something real they can be proud of.

I’ve taught writing and storytelling to students from elementary to college level, and I’ve written many of my own storybooks, chapter books, and articles along the way. I bring both structure and imagination to my classes, helping learners build skills while having fun.

I believe kids thrive when they feel seen, heard, and encouraged. My teaching style is positive and community-based—every child has something valuable to share, and I make space for that in every class.

At home, I’m a dad of three imaginative kids, and some of our best ideas have come from stories told by the campfire or during our attachment circle. I can’t wait to hear what your learner dreams up next!
