LEGOs Speed Champions: The Building Blocks of Future Dreamers
Many ideas begin with a simple thought and sometimes grow into something much bigger. And old-fashion mediums like molding clay and pencil sketches are still used in design studios today along with modern tools like 3D CAD, digital illustration, and 3D printing. LEGOs may lack the ability to do fluid curves but they are still excellent building blocks for kids of all ages.
Do you think LEGOs are just for kids? Well, think again. Lately, LEGOs are enjoying a resurgence in popularity with kids – young and old – and have become more than just a toy by ushering in a new era of creativity for a fresh generation. The options for growth are almost limitless and the number of new building kits being introduced shows no signs of slowing down.
