We empathize: I never drempt that our seven and nine year old would spend their first spring break isolated, purposely separated because of a pandemic. But they are not afraid. We’ve had more family time than if we were sailing the South Pacific. More family challenges where we all learn. More overall thinking about what matters. So, that said. How do we keep them challenged and excelling. The Lego Bridge Challenge is today’s quest. Let’s see how we did.

We define: Make the strongest structurally sound bridge and make it beautiful. 50/50 on the foundation and the aesthetic story telling of your bridge. It takes organization and preparation.

We ideate: We believe in colors.

We prototype: We break things and iterate on better. Always a better structure.

We test: Break, Don’t wait. Wait, Don’t break. Break and weight. break and … Ahoy!

We win: Way to hold it together in the most adverse conditions.

Winners: Chloe and Jack win again. Go Team Weibel.
