    This set was amazingly done! The book captured many aspects and values of the science community that many future students who have an interest in STEM would find astonishing. As a Biochem major, I personally loved putting this set together and displaying it in my study room.

    A top favorite

    This has to be my son’s top favorite build he’s done! All about STEM, including a rotating center for the DNA strand and a couple hidden spots to reveal! Absolute genius design. My son’s only request is that it came with all the scientists, engineers, and inventors as mini figures. That would have made this complete. He has it displayed on his bookmaker, alongside his mineral Lego build. Fantastic addition to the Lego collection!
