LEGO® Education
BuildToExpress

Children have all sorts of theories about how the world works. What they don’t always have is the ability and tools to help them express their thoughts or feelings, or the opportunity to be able to reflect on the world around them.

BuildToExpress allows and encourages students to express and reflect their thoughts and feelings on any topic by building symbolic models with LEGO® bricks. The LEGO® bricks in each set have been carefully selected to provide a broad spectrum of ‘ready-made metaphors’ which inspires students and stimulates their creative thinking and imagination in a ‘build
and share’ context. For example, a class may be discussing environmental protection, and students will build individual representations of what they believe are the most important considerations. They may use the concept to discuss a novel, to prepare for a design challenge or to debate democracy.

In an inclusive, non-judgmental and highly motivated environment, BuildToExpress enables all your students to communicate as equals. It is genuinely creative teaching aid allowing everyone to be involved and to take an active role in the learning process, transforming you– the teacher – into a true hands-on facilitator.

BuildToExpress Set

The set includes over 200 LEGO® elements in a separate storage unit. They have been carefully selected to provide a broad spectrum of ‘readymade metaphors’. The colourful bricks, accessories and Minifigures inspire students and stimulate their creative thinking and imagination.
