Presentations

Bricks, Blocks, and Building

When a toy becomes a hobby.  This informative and entertaining presentation takes a historical look at the toy itself, the company that produces it and the hobby of building.  After this presentation you will never look at a brick the same way again.  This presentation is geared for both students and adults and perfect for an educational or museum setting.  There are many pictures presented, plus physical displays and references, as well as some audience participation.   Facts, ideas, history, antidotes and humour base on a very simple toy we all know and many of us love, that is, until we step on one in the middle of the night with our bare feet.
