C3BRIX MOTTO | REBUILD YOUR CHILDHOOD

The motto of C3Brix is “Rebuild Your Childhood” encouraging adults to reminisce and children to use their imagination to think outside of the (Lego) box by building anything they can imagine and not be limited by the instruction books.

“I have never forgotten where I started and I want to make sure kids today continue to use Legos outside of just the instructions in kits. I want to make sure the next generation is encouraged to do the same.”
