Jennifer Swanson is a life-long LEGO bricks enthusiast. After all, what better way to learn engineering and design than by building it yourself? She even asked for—and to the delight of her and her new husband— received a LEGO set as a wedding gift! Jennifer not only grew up in a house filled with LEGO bricks, but raised three children who loved them as well. An award-winning author of multiple STEM books for kids, she is thrilled to be writing this book, which combines her love of LEGO bricks with the science of the world around her.
