LEGO Unveils Free Creativity Workshops for Young Builders
Unleashing Creativity and Imagination with LEGO’s Latest Workshop Series for Kids
ENFIELD, Conn. — The LEGO Group has announced an exciting continuation of its celebrated series of free in-store and online interactive creativity workshops. This initiative, known as “Play Unstoppable,” is specially designed to spark the imaginations of young creators aged 6-12. The latest chapter in this innovative series focuses on the power of Imagination and “DREAMZzz,” offering a variety of hands-on, playful learning experiences.
Dual Opportunities to Explore Creativity
LEGO fans can choose between two engaging formats to participate in these creative fests:
- In-store Creativity Workshops: Scheduled for August 17 and 18 at select LEGO Store locations throughout North America, these sessions promise a dynamic environment where children can engage in a spin-the-wheel game to decide what they’ll build. Whether it be a quirky animal, a dream house, or a fantastical vehicle, LEGO store associates are ready to guide each builder through their creative journey. Due to limited space, advance booking at LEGO.com/CreativityWorkshops is required, ensuring a personalized and immersive building experience.
- Creativity at Home – Online Workshops: For those who prefer the comfort of their home, LEGO has lined up Amy Jones (aka @studiojonesie), a renowned artist and illustrator, to lead virtual workshops. Participants will learn how to construct decorative and functional LEGO items such as vases, memory boxes, and artwork, enhancing their living spaces with a touch of LEGO charm. These sessions are accessible via LEGO’s dedicated workshop webpage.
A Commitment to Empowering Young Minds
These workshops are integral to LEGO’s longstanding commitment to nurturing creativity and confidence in young girls and boys alike. By rotating themes that include Entertainment, Space, Gaming, and now Imagination and DREAMZzz, LEGO continues to cater to diverse interests and inspire participants to explore boundless creative possibilities.
Star-studded Guidance
The Online Creativity Workshops feature a lineup of influential creators, including Dianne Buswell, known for her electrifying dance moves; Alexandra Doten, who brings a cosmic perspective as Astro Alexandra; and Kennedy, a gaming legend who guides attendees through the virtual realms of possibilities with LEGO.
Visit and Participate
To dive into this enriching LEGO experience, fans can now watch the online workshops or register for an upcoming in-store session. A list of participating stores in both the USA and Canada is available, covering a wide geographical area to ensure that many have the opportunity to join in the fun.
For more details about the workshops and to secure a spot in the nearest store, enthusiasts are encouraged to visit:

Altitude Trampoline Park Announces Exclusive Partnership With Intelliplay
Premier Family-Friendly Entertainment Launches State-of-the-Art Technology Feature, Intellibands, in Two Parks With Additional Roll-Outs Coming Soon
DALLAS /PRNewswire/ — Altitude Trampoline Park, the leading family-friendly entertainment franchise, announced today its exclusive partnership with Intelliplay, Inc., a brand that is revolutionizing the indoor family entertainment industry with a patented smart wristband and gamification platform. This partnership will introduce Intellibands to Altitude Trampoline Park locations, offering cutting-edge technology designed to elevate the park experience for guests and improve overall park management for operators.
The Intelliplay system, featuring the Intelliband, aims to increase satisfaction for both guests and franchisees. Intellibands are advanced rubber wristbands equipped with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. Key benefits of this technology include immediate identification of guests with expired jump time, gathering precise location and tracking data, increasing guest engagement through leaderboards and other gamified elements, and providing a convenient method to make purchases that grow overall revenue.
Replacing standard paper wristbands, Altitude staff will now perform check-ins through Intelliplay, scanning the Intelliband to link it to each guest’s ticket. This process ensures guests’ Intelliband lights up appropriately, allowing for seamless entry into the park. Staff can also monitor guest locations in real-time through a park map view.
Guests can look forward to several exciting features, including leaderboards. These allow kids to compete and earn points, making each visit to Altitude more engaging. Additionally, parents receive text notifications when their child’s time is about to expire, with a simple process to extend the time via phone. Intellibands also alert staff and parents if a child attempts to leave the facility, further ensuring safety and security in the park.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Intellibands to our parks. Altitude has been a trailblazer in the family entertainment industry, but this partnership with Intelliplay allows us to enhance our system by creating a new cornerstone for innovative technology, indoor activity, and fun that makes visits to our parks even more appealing and convenient,” said Mike Rotondo, CEO of Altitude Trampoline Park. “We are committed to continually improving the guest experience and look forward to seeing the positive impact Intellibands will have at our parks.”
The first Altitude Trampoline Park to officially roll-out this technology will be in Mason, Ohio, followed by Richardson, Texas. Prior to the official launch in Mason, Altitude tested this technology among customers and received great initial feedback. Customers found the wristband to be very secure and comfortable to wear, and overall felt the wristbands made for a better experience.
Altitude Trampoline Park is owned by Indoor Active Brands, a platform company that focuses on indoor entertainment concepts. This year, Indoor Active Brands launched its latest brand, The Pickle Pad, an indoor pickleball playground featuring a chef-inspired restaurant and bar – Crave Social Eatery, as well as yard and social games for all ages. Established by NRD Capital, Indoor Active Brands utilizes industry experience in the family entertainment and restaurant industries to support and assist its franchisees.
The brand is actively seeking qualified candidates to help grow its footprint throughout the U.S. in Kansas City, MO, Raleigh-Durham, NC, Denver, CO, among others. To learn more about franchise opportunities and upcoming store openings, contact Mike Stout at Mike.Stout@ATPHQ.COM or visit www.altitudefranchise.com.
