The Human Impact - Saving Today's Dinosaurs' course and A future without waste resources are part of the Build the Change initiative from LEGO Group’s Sustainability team,  designed to help children express their hopes and dreams for the future with LEGO® bricks and other creative materials, plus their own imagination, via learning through play. The initiative aims to give children a voice and use their ideas and visions to inspire leaders around the world. These resources are aimed at 7 to 14 year old pupils.

The Fission and Fusion kit uses Lego to represent the building blocks of matter, and is suitable for secondary students.

In the Build your Mars exploration rover resource, students at secondary level can design and programme a Lego built Mars rover.  

The Lego building algorithm activity is an adaptable lesson plan for children aged 5 to 7, to create a simple model and then to create instructions for this.
