Lego Group

The first two shelves were filled with legos that were obviously aimed for boys. These legos were Star Wars themed and in dark blue and black packaging. Above the Star Wars legos were pretty pink lego boxes with girl lego characters and pretty pink presents on the box. It was very clear which legos were meant for boys and which were made for girls. After researching more about this I discovered that lego released the lego and friends toy line which is aimed for females and is all…

Once upon a time, far far away, there was a magical kingdom made up of bright blue and dark green Legos located at a special place named Coronado Island. In this kingdom there was a king named Jon Center who forever loved Legos. It was finally here. It was the day of the great hamburger cook off. This day also meant the king would choose his new chief, the man who created the best tasting hamburger. “Sir, Sir!” the king’s servant yelled, running through the crowds towards the…

The Lego Star Wars Millenium Falcon, or the Lego Mindstorms NXT? I have never been good at making decisions, even when it comes to toys. There are always so many different options, each of them so amazingly amusing and unique, that I cannot stand getting them all. Because of this, I strongly believe that limiting someone like me, who is curious and adventurous, to be able to try only one thing is wrong. Struggling to pick a toy may seem frivolous, but when it comes to the question of what I want…

Everyone sees the world through different perspectives. I tend to have a vivid imagination and see things for their creative potential. When I was a child I loved to play with legos, the ability to create anything you could imagine always inspired me. In my free time, I would build either Star Wars or Harry Potter lego sets. Eventually as I aged, following instructions became a bit boring so I began to build my own projects. Sometimes they had to do with the theme of Star Wars or Harry Potter,…

The core layer of Legos satisfies the desire for knowledge and assists in their learning. Children are curious and learn best through hands on interaction. The use of Legos providing a more enjoyable way to learn concepts and skills, encourage children to explore and discover by being creative and experimenting with the building blocks. The second layer, the actual product, would just be the physical product of the Legos, which consists of thousands of little plastic brick pieces that end up…

With the popularity of The Force awakens period, it is good to see that not forgetting the original Lego Star Wars Trilogy, which gives us some great new sets to recreate classic scenes. Case in point, the freezing carbon Bedroom set, which is one of the most iconic moments of The Empire Strikes Back. This set includes a relatively small room, three men - Han Solo, Boba Fett and Ugnaught - and Han Solo in Carbonite pieces. Complexity: This is a relatively small series of 231 pieces, but many…

was always cheerfully asking my mother for “boy toys” because they allowed creativity to flow. Specifically I wanted the huge Star Wars Lego set of the Death Star because it contained millions of tiny and intricate pieces. Although I was never gifted the Death Star, in replacement my mother would buy me colorful sets that contained instructions for building Lego houses, or making a dog park. Over time, I gradually took all of these figurines that I had built apart, and I found myself with an…

disconnect between teacher and student. Teachers must get on a student’s level and understand what goes on in their world. What do they like to do? What do they play with? These things are very different from 20+ years ago. Kids do not play with LEGOs as much as they use to, Minecraft is a new favorite where they can do the same thing online but bigger and better. A great example of understanding students would be to allow students to use Minecraft to create a project for class. When…
