Fourteen children participated in the Thompson Falls Public Library's Lego club last Friday, where they were tasked with building robots using a bowl of random blocks. After 20 minutes of building, the young Lego enthusiasts were able to trade pieces with each other before presenting their creations and explaining what their robots could do. The finished robots are now on display at the library until the next Lego club meeting, which is held on the last Friday of every month at 3 p.m.

Why it matters

The Lego club provides a fun and educational activity for children in the Thompson Falls community, encouraging them to develop their creativity, problem-solving skills, and interest in engineering and technology at a young age.

The details

For the February challenge, the children were given a bowl of random Lego blocks and had to use those pieces to build their robots. After the initial 20 minutes of building, they were then allowed to trade parts with other participants to help complete their designs. Once finished, each child presented their robot and explained its functionality to the group.

• The Lego club meeting took place last Friday, February 28, 2026.
• The next Lego club meeting is scheduled for the last Friday of March 2026 at 3 p.m.

What’s next

The finished robots built by the children will remain on display at the Thompson Falls Public Library until the next Lego club meeting at the end of March 2026.
