Celebrate Earth Day with a New Challenge from LEGO & NASA

LEGO and NASA are challenging everyone to think globally and build a planet of their choice.

Back in March LEGO went into their archives and assembled a team of designers, creative and play experts to come up with new ways to help families stay creative and connected. Daily play challenges, new play ideas and live build-a-longs have been shared on social media. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day LEGO and NASA are inviting everyone to take part in their “Build a Planet” challenge.

Born out of the LEGO and NASA partnership to celebrate the organization’s impact on the study and preservation of our Earth, the “Build A Planet” challenge is part of the LEGO #LetsBuildTogether platform. On the heels of a ‘second earth’ being discovered 300 light years away from us, LEGO and NASA are challenging everyone to think globally and build a planet of their choice! Whether it’s Earth, Mars, or better yet, Kepler-1649c – the mysterious new planet among the stars.

The challenge is launching Apr. 22 across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Stories so no one will have to wait 300 light years or 11.6 million years to fuel their curiosity. Look for the hashtags #LetsBuildTogether and #EarthDayAtHome.
