What you may not know is that LEGO is not a retail company or a toy company or an entertainment concern – LEGO is an education company, probably the biggest education company in the world. If LEGO was a LEGO construction, the bricks at the bottom would say, “learn through play.”As an example, The LEGO Foundation owns 25% of LEGO. But even before The LEGO Foundation was created in 1986, LEGO launched a stand-alone education company, LEGO Education – in 1980. The Lego Education legacy is already robust. “We have worked hard to make LEGO Education solutions like our newest product, SPIKE Prime, approachable for anyone, no matter what their background is with coding and programming,” Siddharth Muthyala, Senior Concept Lead for LEGO Education told me by e-mail.
