At the close of the 2024-2025 school year, and our first year of operation, we are excited to announce that we have delivered over 100 lbs of LEGO to underserved schools in 10 states, reaching 2,722 students. These results are beyond our expectations. We are thrilled to be to assist such great educators running innovative STEM programs.  

Another big week. We sent Because Boxes off to schools in Texas, Mississippi and Nevada! These LEGO are destined for morning arrival bins, indoor recess activities needed in extreme heat conditions, and in-class math and science curriculum. We love to hear all the uses teachers are putting their bricks to!

Our biggest shipment yet! Today we sent 13 lbs of LEGO to Firgrove Elementary School in Puyallup, Washington. This set of bricks is going in their library where they run a LEGO Club and have a TinkerTime/STEM accelerator several times a year. We love having LEGO in a shared environment like the library and are thrilled to support the initative. 

We published instructions for How to Run a LEGO Donation Drive! Running a LEGO drive is perfect for NHS students and First Inspire Teams (FTC, FRC) that want to add a fun and rewarding outreach opportunity to their portfolios. Read the guide and contact us if you want to host your own donation drive for Because Bricks!

Today we sent out another 10lbs of LEGO (and The Painter!) to Ferguson Missouri's Johnson Wabash 6th Grade Center. This shipment will join the previous one to beef up their LEGO Club, STEM Club and STEM Explorations Summer Program.

Today is the day we have been dreaming about for several years. We have sent our first shipment of LEGO to the Johnson-Wabash 6th Grade Center in Ferguson, Missouri! These LEGO will be a part of their LEGO Club, STEM Club and STEM Explorations Summer Program. Read more in the press release. 

We are now accepting applications from teachers at Title 1 schools to apply for LEGO assistance. To receive a shipment of LEGO from Because Bricks, fill our our application form. 

Today we are live! Behind the scenes we have been dismantling LEGO models, cleaning LEGO, and sorting by size. We've also completed our initial branding exercise and secured our Instagram handle. Watch this space!
