✨Building Dreams Brick by Brick: My Journey from Lego to Real Estate 🏡 Ever wonder where the foundation of a real estate passion can be laid? For me, it all started in my childhood bedroom, surrounded by Lego pieces and the echoes of laughter with my dad. 🧑🤝🧑 Each brick, a memory. Each build is a chapter in my story. Fast forward to today, and those Lego walls still stand, a testament to the incredible memories we created. It's a trigger of excitement and nostalgia, a reminder of the joy of spending time with my dad. Grateful he's still with me, making new memories, but these Lego pieces were the origin of my journey into real estate. Curious about your real estate journey? Let's chat! Whether you're starting, scaling, or just reminiscing about your own Lego adventures, I'm here to turn your dreams into real estate reality. 🌟 If you want to listen to the full episode, clink the link in my Bio! #BuildingDreams #LegoToRealEstate #DadAndMeAdventures #QualityTime #FatherandSon #ElevationEquity

So proud to have finished my last semester with two amazing projects: Might-Eez Workshop & Getting AHead. These two projects are likely my most impressive projects yet and I couldn't have asked for a better class of students to work with on either project. Might-Eez Workshop was my first project with complex interacting systems but thanks to my recent work in learning gameplay programming patterns it was actually quite simple to make, and is not my favorite project that I've ever worked on. The only thing I wish I'd had time to develop before the end of the semester would be a proper tutorial for each of the games. Downloads for both can be found on my personal itch.io page: https://lnkd.in/gH_BSZkq

💜💛❤️💚 #SensoryPlay is a very important part of our learning & development.

Did you know that children today are playing less and it correlates with their well-being? A new study from Aarhus University reveals that this has a huge impact on their well-being and happiness. Children are learning about the world through play, and they need more time and space to express themselves, connect with others, and discover new things. That’s why I’m proud to work at the LEGO Group, where our mission is to bring more play into children’s lives and learning. We believe that play is essential for children’s development, creativity, and joy. It gives us a significant purpose that is well needed in these challenging times.

Play fuels curiosity, sparks creativity, and fosters lifelong learning. On the International Day of Play, let's learn by playing! The hoppy frog game was conceptualized by ecologists and nature educators Seshadri KS, Antony Maria, and Vidisha MK to familiarise children and adults about frogs. The idea is to get people to embody a frog and navigate life in an increasingly urbanized world facing various environmental threats. The green and red boxes signify the favorable and unfavorable environmental conditions that the frog is exposed to. Ecologists have studied the drivers of amphibian extinction and have differentiated extinction drivers and threats. Celebrating the right to play- for every adult and child!
