Building what scholars already know by heart.

“I have spent the past decade in New York City schools with a bin of bricks and one question. What changes when a scholar can hold the thing they are learning?” Syreeta Gates was the first Black woman to compete on LEGO Masters, and has built for Nike, LEGO, Adidas and the Sacramento Kings. She brings all of it into your building.

The SWT Life uses LEGO bricks to build identity, reinforce core academics and bring school stories to life. Over thirty NYC schools and institutions have turned their classrooms into creative ecosystems with us: residencies, build days, curriculum kits and custom builds made around the people and places in their buildings.

We are an NYC M/WBE certified vendor, DOE Vendor #SWT976604, so your school can direct-award. No competitive bidding required.
