Learners from Trinity Academy Newcastle Upper Site recently had the opportunity to participate in a three-day work experience with Steve at Brick This, a global company located in North Shields. Specialising in stunning architecture represented through true-to-scale LEGO models, Brick This has completed impressive commissioned projects, including St. James Park, The Alnwick Garden, The Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Maggie’s Centre at Freeman Hospital, and The Centre for Life.

Embodying the philosophy of George Bernard Shaw, Brick This believes in the power of play: “We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” This ethos reflects the company’s commitment to creativity and innovation.

The three-day work experience was an exceptional journey for all participants, providing invaluable insights into the world of architectural modelling and design. A heartfelt thank you to Steve for making this experience memorable!
