Ever built a LEGO spaceship with Will Ferrell that looked nothing like the instructions?
Ever let students take the reins and steer your curriculum off-road?
Ever wondered if those two things are basically the same?
In this episode, Mike and Mark are joined by Kiu-Sum, host of The Education Burrito podcast, to unpack the surprisingly profound links between The LEGO Movie and student co-creation in higher education.
Along the way, we dive into:
- What co-creation actually is – not student consultation, not a tick-box exercise, but genuine partnership between students and staff
- Why it matters – for identity, agency, belonging, and making higher education more than just “passing the modules”
- How to do it well – from mentoring schemes to collaborative projects, and building systems that value all student voices
- And yes, we answer the big one:
Why is everything awesome in the LEGO Movie with student co-creation?
