Whenever I come across something ingenious I often wonder how would this guy score on a Mensa test. Same thought comes to mind when I look at the lego bricks.

Watching my 3-year old come up with amazingly sturdy and evenly balanced designs with these bricks prompted me to google “lego designs”. I wont deny my own passion and love for these bricks. I was delighted with tons of resources.

But my biggest joy came from the horse’s mouth:  The official lego website.

Check these links:

• Lego Creator is the destination I am talking about. It has an exciting mix of content, from design studio to step-by-step construction method of various designs, videos, blog, downloads and more.
• The lego design school where you can learn everything from the very basics to pretty advanced lego construction techniques.
• The Lego Digital Designer. A software that you can download from Lego website and create your designs on the PC, and you can even upload them to Lego’s gallery.
• Ever wished you could ask someone for help? Now you have two options:
  • Ask A Designer section for expert replies from the official representatives
  • The Messageboard provides you a place to hang out and exchange ideas with other Lego buffs.

All in all, this should be a wonderful treat. Even though I have played with Lego since childhood, there are several things I learnt at the Lego school mentioned above.
