LEGO Master Builder Academy
MBA Inventions -- World Architecture

The LEGO Master Builder Academy is a series of specially designed LEGO sets that are intended to empower LEGO fans to design and build their own advanced LEGO models, using tips and techniques from LEGO Master Builders, the professionals who design all the LEGO sets sold around the world, and who create the giant LEGO models on display at LEGOLAND, LEGO stores, and LEGO events worldwide.

21st Century Kids LLC worked closely with LEGO to bring the Master Builder Academy to life as a series of engaging after-school programs and camps for kids. It’s an exclusive offering you won’t find elsewhere!

World Architecture is part of the MBA Inventions series, and is for children in grades K-6. Children learn tips and techniques developed by LEGO Master Builders, helping them to understand and identify materials, shapes, and assemblies needed for a structure to serve its purpose.

Every child works with and takes home their own specially themed, multi-model LEGO MBA set! These sets are no longer commercially available and are among the best LEGO has ever produced. Designer Handbooks are provided as part of the kit and contain a wealth of information from LEGO and the Master Builders in addition to building instructions.

Building instructions for special "Springboard Models" are provided in the Designer Handbook along with inspiration to create new structural designs:

In addition to LEGO building, children learn how the LEGO Master Builders design LEGO models and sets and get to develop and practice the valuable design skills on their own.

The LEGO Master Builder Academy is an amazing and very limited opportunity for children to further their interest in LEGO and to learn tips and techniques from the LEGO Master Builders.
