I’m working with Michael Amick, the principal of Bellevue Elementary, on building a new LEGO studio on the bottom floor of the school. He’s very interested in having the LUG participate in a number of different ways, though chief amongst them would be in consulting on the design of the space. I mentioned this to @knb112 and I think…Read more
