help encourage teens to use their minds for constructive means, learning to build and create. And now, colleges like MIT are using Legos in their robotics and architectural classes.More and more often, I read of adults purchasing the more expensive sets, such as the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 31313 programmable robot or
the awesome LEGO Star Wars Death Star (10188)
.These are not only great hobbies but can morph into a job! Consider the sculptors, such as Nathan Sawaya who create life-size statues of people, or perhaps those who built Legoland! You might visit LegoLand sometime to see just what can be done with Legos.
LegoLand - There are even theme parks designed and built with LEGOs!

The Art of the Brick: A Life in LEGO |
Nathan Sawaya, Brick Artist (TM), was commissioned to build a Lego replica of the flag raising at Iwo Jima inspired by Joe Rosenthal's iconic photographic.
With over 100,000 LEGO bricks used in the construction of the piece, it shows the five Marines and a Navy corpsman who raised the flag on top of Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima.
The National Museum of the Marine Corps honors all Marines and shares their stories with the American public through interactive displays. Located in Quantico, Virginia, the National Museum of the Marine Corps opened in November 2006.
Almost everyone, regardless of age, enjoys building with LEGOs.
Artsy.com has even more information about Nathan Sawaya.

| Building Amazing Creations |
As a medium, artists around the world are finding LEGOs to be a fun way to create 3-D art. Legos really are for teens and grownups.It really is a worldwide phenomenon. AFOLs members have organized conventions around the world for more than the past ten years. Artisans have created working guitars, roller coasters, entire cities, and warships that actually float.
Whether you are musically inclined, prefer to spend your spare time reading comic books, or love surrealistic art, LEGO offers you the ability to build something you can enjoy and be proud of.
Be warned, though. Many of these sculptures weigh in excess of 100 pounds.
Once you build it, especially if you glue it together, moving it won't be so easy. Best to build it where ever you intend to keep it. Another thing to keep in mind is the cost. Some of these larger sculptures require many thousands of pieces. But who could resist having a fantastic piece of 3-D art you made yourself from LEGOs?
