HYBRICKS

Project Website: https://projects.etc.cmu.edu/brickbond/
Hybricks is an extension of the Brick-by-Brick® Programme created by Play Included®, founded by Dr. Gina Gómez de la Cuesta. It pioneers a remote LEGO® experience using AR technology, allowing participants to engage in collaborative brick-building simultaneously in both virtual and physical spaces—anytime, anywhere.
Designed to create meaningful and positive experiences for children and young people, Hybricks provides an interactive platform that fosters social connection, confidence-building, and emotional development through collaborative LEGO® play. Inspired by the success of Brick Clubs, where children form friendships in safe and supportive environments, Hybricks brings this experience into the digital world, bridging the gap between physical and virtual LEGO® play.
