Playful Schools Challenge: Build the Change
Build the Change with YELLOW and Pharrell Williams
Can children’s ideas inspire the playful schools of the future? Singer, songwriter, producer and philanthropist Pharrell Williams thinks so! He is calling for kids to unleash their creativity for a new LEGO® Build the Change challenge in partnership with his non-profit YELLOW.
Ignite children’s creativity today
Together with Pharrell and YELLOW, we are inviting children across the globe to celebrate their individuality and imagine their perfect place to learn, dream and play.
Hit play to watch Pharrell's story, and upload your children's ideas below.
Drawings, crafted constructions, and LEGO builds are all welcome!
Why?
We are all unique! Not everyone’s brains work the same way and not everyone likes to learn the same way.
Pharrell learns differently too – he has synesthesia and sees sounds as colors.
So, whether it’s being active in nature or calm and cozy on a distant planet, we want children to think about their favorite ways to learn and build a playful space to match.
