Did You Ever Wonder What LEGO Does When They're Not Building Bricks?

Each year, the LEGO Foundation holds its “LEGO Idea Conference.” It is an invitation-only event and I am fortunate to be on the guest list. The LEGO Foundation hosted me, along with about 300 leaders in the field of play, education, learning, and international development for three days in the LEGOLAND Hotel and Conference Center in Billund, Denmark. In playful all-day working sessions—often with bricks and mini-figures in our hands—we concentrated on identifying barriers to systemic problems in global education and on imagining playful solutions.
