Each fall, Columbia Play Project celebrates of creativity, engineering, imagination, and play with Bricktastic!

Bricktastic! brings together children, families, hobbyists, artists, engineers, educators, and LEGO enthusiasts for a day filled with building challenges, collaborative engineering, creative showcases, and hands-on STREAM experiences inspired by the power of play.

In the weeks leading up to Bricktastic!, participants can attend special workshops where they explore robotics, simple machines, architecture, storytelling, animation, and engineering while creating original LEGO projects to display during the festival.

The event culminates in a community showcase where builders proudly exhibit their creations and everyone experiences Columbia Play Project’s Mobile Children’s Museum through hands-on activities designed to inspire curiosity long after the event ends.

Bricktastic! demonstrates what children’s museums do best: transform play into meaningful learning.
