Build Something Bigger. 💛
Curated build kits built of repurposed LEGO® bricks and compatible elements — supporting inclusive creative programming across the Hudson Valley.
NickleBrick Workshop™ Mission
NickleBrick Workshop™ repurposes shared LEGO® bricks into creative build kits while building meaningful opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities.
We are a mission-driven social enterprise based in Wappingers Falls, NY, serving families, schools, and community partners throughout the Hudson Valley.
We combine curated build kits, structured programming, and strengths-based hands-on skill development into one growing ecosystem.
How NickleBrick Workshop™ Works
Shared LEGO® bricks → creative build kits → hands-on skill opportunities
We collect shared LEGO® bricks from the community and repurpose them into creative build kits.
Those kits are shared through pop-ups and local retail, and sales help support the development of the NickleBrick Hands-On Skills Lab — a future space where teens and adults with developmental disabilities can learn real work routines through sorting, assembling, and preparing the kits.
Right now NickleBrick Workshop™ operates as a mobile model while we grow toward that vision.
If you want to make it even clearer visually, you can break the diagram into four steps like this:

Inspired by Our Builder in Chief
NickleBrick Workshop™ was inspired by our Builder in Chief, Nickle — whose strengths in visual building, organization, and completing large-scale LEGO® sets helped shape our mission.
We believe strengths deserve structure. And structure creates opportunity.
