Burlington's Lucy Clement, 9, Earns Spot On LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Boston’s 2017 Creative Crew

SOMERVILLE, MA -- LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Boston recently announced that Burlington resident Lucy Clement, 9, earned a coveted spot on the 2017 Creative Crew.

The Creative Crew are 13 children, ages 5-10, who will have the opportunity to participate in exclusive building sessions with LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Boston Master Model Builder Megan Amaral, attend special events and be the first to test new rides and games.

The Creative Crew will also serve as a “kid panel” to share tips about building models, how to get the top score on rides and other little known facts about visiting LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston.

The Burlington girl submitted a video that showed her build and answered the question, “What does LEGO® mean to you?”

“Lucy had an awesome Pluto that she had built out of DUPLO Bricks. She said that LEGO means you can fix things, which to me, is one of the great things about LEGO bricks.” said Megan Amaral, LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Boston’s Master Model Builder and Creative Crew Judge.

“I liked that she said if something breaks you can always put it back together. It’s one of the things we like to teach children who visit the attraction.”

The contest took place via Facebook from March 20 through April 30. Over 30 entries were reviewed and judges selected 13 children that had excellent building skills, but also embodied the creativity of LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Boston.

“We chose children that demonstrated their building skills, creativity and imagination through their models,” said Megan Amaral. “I’m really excited to work with this next group of talented young LEGO builders that come from across New England.”

The induction of the new Creative Crew will be held on Friday, June 23 at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston

. The members will receive their official gear, do a special build with LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston Master Model Builder Megan Amaral and take photos with Megan and Bertie, LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston’s mascot.

LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Boston is open daily at 10 am. Advance tickets are suggested to guarantee admission and can be purchased online at www.legolanddiscoverycenter.com/boston
