The week we constructed a Lego Death Star [VIDEO]

In the spirit of the holidays, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at one of our favorite presents from last year: a Lego Death Star. Jose, our founder and CEO, bought the enormous Lego kit as a gift to the office last holiday season. Naturally, we set up a camera and recorded everything that happened next.

Watch as Knewton employees build the full Lego Death Star over the course of a week in this timelapse video:

    I just re-watched Episodes I and II this weekend – not as bad as I remembered! 

    And I’m finally going to read the Thrawn trilogy (Episodes VII, VIII, and IX). Anyone read these yet?

    Dan Pink says motivation must be intrinsic from a feeling of purpose,
    mastery, and autonomy (control).  The team building of the Lego Death
    Star is a demonstration.
    A fun video for all those who grew up with learning from Legos.

    My Son was given this for his 7th birthday in May this year. Between the two of us we are still only up to the third level (packet 6 from box 3) !
    I’ll show this to him when he gets home from school to try and inspire him to move his hands a bit faster!
