The Challenge

How we play can shape the world, and we need teachers like you to lead the fun. 

Empower your students to use their creativity skills to build awesome new communities that support everybody and have a positive impact.

The Community Builder’s Challenge, created by Red Nose Day In School and the LEGO Group's Build The Change team, was designed to help your students imagine solutions for everyday problems they see around them: Are there ways to make it easier for everyone to play together? What if you could change how to share food? How about a new green space for a neighborhood with no grass or trees?

Help them see the world they want to live in, and then bring their vision to life.
