Brick Bash 2007 a Great Success!
Brick Bash is a public LEGO building exhibition and educational event held
every March in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA (but keep an eye out for possible
future geographic expansion). The purpose of Brick Bash is to present a FREE
educational event for the public, give AFOLs a place to show off their slick
stuff to the public, and to raise awareness of Bricks for Brains, a
non-profit organization that presents educational, hands-on LEGO building
exhibits.
Here are some highlights of the event:
- For the second year in a row we increased our attendance by 50%, with 1000 visitors, which means we have out-grown yet another venue.
- We introduced two local builders to the world of displaying their MOCs.
- We provided free robotics lessons to dozens of kids.
- We had a community-built Moonbase colony, where familes from around the area tried their hand at Moonbase modules, and brought them to the event to add to the AFOL’s modules.
- Large tables of loose LEGO, Bionicle and Duplo were extremely popular.
- Press coverage before and after the event (finally).
- Sponsors who made it possible to have the event and to keep it free for both the public and exhibitors.

This is great - I wanted to attend, but got bogged down in other things with
BrickJournal. I’m very impressed with what you did and hope to attend next
year.
