College Essay Story-Finding
Construct Your Story: College Essay Story-Finding LEGO® Workshop
Staring at a blank screen, waiting for college essay inspiration, is frustrating and stressful.
Construct Your Story in an interactive, hands-on workshop that uses LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology to help high school seniors break through writer’s block, uncover defining personal moments, and map out compelling narrative arcs—brick by brick.
By shifting from blank-page brainstorming to 3D tactile construction, students bypass self-doubt, access forgotten memories, and discover what truly makes their story stand out to admissions committees.
Workshop Scope: This is a story-finding, ideation, and narrative-structuring lab—not a grammar editing or proofreading service. We ensure students leave with their unique story uncovered and structured.
