Recent Highlights Lego Club participants were up for the following challenge: “The local bank keeps getting robbed. Build a safe that no one can crack.”       This safe has a self-destruct. If someone does get in, there’s a trip wire and a cannon inside. There’s a truck that can catch people on the right. “This safe has a steel reincored with diamond floor and ceiling. The trash can outside is a decoy, and the octopus on the tower catches people.” Monthly Calendar of Events
