City Builders: Design Your Dream Town with LEGOs

In this City Builders workshop, students will use LEGO® bricks to construct a mini city, including roads, homes, parks, and public buildings. Students will explore how cities are organized and why different spaces — like roads, parks, and housing — serve different purposes, while discovering how city planners and engineers decide where things go and how they connect!
