About Us
At Brooklyn Click + Connect, we believe in the power of LEGO to inspire creativity, promote problem-solving, and increase self-confidence. We celebrate and encourage creativity and outside-the-box thinking. We use an inclusive, strengths-based, and interest-based approach to learning and play, centering the interests and passions of students to promote engagement and social connection.

After winning the runner-up prize in the 2023 Brooklyn Public Libary PowerUp Business Plan Competition for her LEGO business and running LEGO classes out of her home, she is thrilled to offer a dedicated space for LEGO enthusiasts to come together, inspire one another, and be awesome.
