About

Join our exciting LEGO® mass build, where creativity meets sustainability! Families with children aged 6+ are invited to unleash their imaginations and build innovative LEGO®  brick solutions to real-world challenges facing nature, climate, and the environment. Choose a locally themed challenge, from re-wilding a street of Tyneside flats, imagining new habitats in unexpected places, designing more sustainable surfaces or bringing animals back from the brink of extinction. Be part of the movement to build a better world, one brick at a time! 

Key information: 

  • This session offers a calmer environment for anyone who needs or prefers it, with more limited capacity than our drop-in sessions. Timings within the hour are flexible, so please arrive and leave whenever suits you. 
  • Pre-sorted LEGO available.
  • You are welcome to bring any support materials that might help, such as ear defenders or fidget toys. 
  • Flexible seating and standing options will also be available.

This activity has been made possible through the partnership between the Natural History Museum and the LEGO Group as part of their Build the Change programme.
