30th October - something all new is coming…

14/10/2026

Ready …. set … GO!

After a day of school this is the perfect after school club activity!

So today I got asked what I do with all the broken LEGO® bricks.

I’m not sure what answer they were expecting… chuck them in the recycling? Melt them down and make my own bricks? 😂

But when I explained that they go on the Broken LEGO® Tree, it certainly put a smile on someone’s face.

So here it is…

The Broken LEGO® Tree. 🌳

No watering required. 😂

💙 World Mental Health Day

Sometimes the biggest struggles are the ones we cannot see.

Behind a smile, a laugh or someone simply getting on with their day, there can be so much more going on.

Today, I just want to ask one simple thing.

Please check in on someone.

A friend, a family member, a neighbour, or someone you haven’t spoken to in a while.

Ask how they really are. Take a moment to listen.

You don’t need to have all the answers or know the right words. Sometimes simply being there can make a difference.

And please, do take that moment to check in. Because I know there are times when I wish I’d done more, asked another question, or simply taken a little more time to listen.

We can’t always know what someone is going through, but we can make sure people know they don’t have to face everything alone.

At Stemgineering With Nick, I see how powerful those little moments of connection can be, and it’s something I believe in deeply.

Because connection matters. And so do you. 💙

You wouldn’t believe me if I didn’t show you the pictures! 😂🐢

Today we welcomed our youngest ever visitor to the Bideford LEGO® Group — a nearly 3-month-old tortoise brought along by a wonderful family!

Normally, when i give someone their first LEGO® experience, I give them their very first brick.

But today was a little different… 😂

Instead, we built our tiny visitor their very own LEGO® garden! 🌸🌿

I do love what happens at this group. You really never know what’s coming next! ❤️

Sometimes it feels like stroking a shark would be easier.

Life gets complicated. Our heads get busy. There are things we can’t immediately fix and sometimes far too much to think about at once.

That’s one of the reasons I’ve come to understand just how powerful play can be.

For a little while, you can become completely absorbed in making something. Your hands are busy. Your attention is somewhere else. You’re creating, experimenting, probably laughing — and everything else gets a little quieter.

LEGO® doesn’t solve what’s going on in our lives. Play isn’t a replacement for talking, support or getting help when we need it.

But sometimes having permission to switch off, create something and just play for a while can be incredibly valuable.

Even if stroking a shark would apparently be easier. 😂

I couldn’t share this yesterday due to the indigestion shortly after eating my LEGO® burger… 🍔😂

What a super weekend at Powderham Food Festival — busy, creative and, most importantly, everyone was playing.

I’ve come away with some wonderful stories from the weekend too, which I’ll share over the next week.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, built, played and took on the LEGO® Kitchen Challenge.

What if we gave people permission to play?

Turns out, they do. ❤️

The mix it bowl was good fun today at Powderham Food Festival!

Met some wonderful people today who took on the LEGO® Kitchen Challenge and create some awesome food.

Need a day out tomorrow? Come on down to Powderham Castle!

What a mixed workshop today in Bideford, Technic™ builds going on, a zip line, pint of Guinness, pizza and these fries and a bowl of porridge 🥣

The porridge 🥣 is going to get its own reel I think… infact the fries 🍟 might too.

Oh the Guinness was made of LEGO® too!
