The Lego Group and a local contestant on Fox’’s “Lego Masters” Ben Edlavitch are teaming up to bring a special workshop to members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Richmond on Monday, July 29.

The workshop will focus on addressing real-world challenges through creative thinking, with participants using Lego bricks to construct ideas for creating a more biodiverse environment. Leadership and employee volunteers from Lego Manufacturing Virginia will be on hand to support the event.
