The History of Lego: Ole Kirk and the Brick That Still Clicks

Show Notes

A Lego brick made today still snaps perfectly onto one made more than sixty years ago. Meet Ole Kirk Christiansen: a Danish carpenter who lost his workshop to fire more than once, and lived by one rule, only the best is good enough. The big idea: care enough to make a thing exactly right, and what you build can last for lifetimes. A true story for curious kids, ages 6 and up. Part of Little Mavericks.
