Mystery LEGO Friends Reveal Coming Soon

October 26, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has teased a new LEGO Friends reveal coming soon in a YouTube Shorts that was published a few hours ago. From the silhouette, it looks to be eight characters that will be revealed. Whether they are the original girls or brand new characters remain to be seen. As reported back at LEGO Con 2022, LEGO Friends Heartlake Stories will be ending by the end of the year and that would be the last adventure the girls embark on so it may suggest that the mystery characters could be new ones.

LEGO MINDSTORMS Theme Ending

October 26, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO MINDSTORMS theme has been a staple for the company since the theme was first introduced in 1998 but it looks like the theme will be ending at the end of 2022. With LEGO Education and other Build & Code experiences in place, they are shifting priorities and the LEGO MINDSTORMS team will be redirected into other departments.

This means all MINDSTORMS related items will be retired by the end of the year but the MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor App will be live until at least the end of 2024. LEGO will still keep the MINDSTORMS trademark and is accessing the opportunity to implement it with LEGO Education.

Since its launch in September 1998, LEGO MINDSTORMS has been one of the core ‘Build & Code’ experiences in the company’s portfolio, carrying with it significant brand equity and becoming a stand-out experience for the early days of consumer robotics and leading to current wBuild & Code experiences such as SPIKE Prime, from LEGO Education’s LEGO Learning System.

However, now having a number of priorities in LEGO Education and other Build & Code experiences, we have decided to focus our resources and future plans by redirecting our MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor team and their expertise into different areas of the business.

This means the physical MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor product (51515) and its related elements (88016 and 88018) are to exit our portfolio from the end of 2022, whilst digital platforms – such as the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor App – will remain live until at least the end of

October 11, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO celebrates International Day of the Girl with a new campaign encouraging girls to stay curious about STEAM subjects and careers. The campaign is to discourage misconceptions that girls don’t aren’t interested in STEAM fields. LEGO has launched a new campaign called Let’s Keep Them Curious! which includes 5 LEGO play STEAM building activities.

The LEGO Group invites girls to stay curious in STEAM subjects on International Day of the Girl

· New research shows girls still aren’t pursuing careers in STEAM
· US$120,000 donation to the Obama Foundation’s Girls Opportunity Alliance
· Online campaign called ‘Let’s Keep them Curious!’ including 5 LEGO® play STEAM building activities

Billund, October 11th, 2022: The LEGO Group marks International Day of the Girl with a new campaign to encourage girls to stay curious about STEAM subjects and careers. New and sobering statistics from the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media and the LEGO Group show girls are still discouraged from STEAM fields from a young age when play is often gender stereotyped.

For example, one statistic in the “Geena Davis Institute LEGO® Creativity Study” shows 80% of boys are encouraged to code at a young age, compared with only 20% of girls. Furthermore, when asked, children as young as six think girls don’t like science. These misconceptions extend into the teen years and adulthood and contribute to the gender gap within STEAM related careers.

To help combat these misconceptions, the LEGO Group is launching an online campaign called ‘Let’s Keep them Curious!’ that includes 5 STEAM play activities
