Design and build your component of a collaborative, vibrant, miniature city of the future using Beni Blocks and recycled materials. Great for families and anyone interested in green design.

Join us for an inspiring hands-on design challenge where we’ll collaborate to build a complete, eco-friendly miniature city! You’ll get to design and construct your own components—a sustainable skyscraper, an electric vehicle, or a smart street grid—using Beni Blocks and other materials.

Beni Blocks are a sustainable, open-source creative building toy. Learn more about their project at beniblocks.com! A core part of the challenge is using a mix of recycled and repurposed materials to construct our city's larger, more imaginative elements. We'll focus on practical sustainability concepts throughout the build.

We'll weave in fundamental engineering principles like structural stability and load-bearing capacity to ensure our city stands tall. 

Plus, get hands-on with simple electronics and coding! We'll integrate LittleBits to add dynamic elements like motion, light, and sound to bring our sustainable designs to life.
