Discover the story behind Mini-Talks and explore its playful approach and meaningful mission.
Read Our Full StoryMini-Talks was born from my passion for LEGO® and a belief in the power of play.
As a LEGO® collector, I've built projects for learning and inclusion from 6-DOT BRICK (Apple WWDC Swift Student Challenge) to BRICK-UP (Social Innovation Award). But my greatest inspiration came from my little sister, who found her voice through storytelling with minifigures.
She taught me that sometimes the bravest voices come from the quietest kids.
