~ I'm going to really like this LEGO :-) ~ There are so many cool pieces to this set, it’s a bit hard to know where to start but the overall theme of the open book is mankind’s ability to make sense of the world we live in and a couple of the people who were giants in that field.
The figures on Sir Isaac Newton (holding his apple) and Marie Curie (holding her discovery of the element Radium) are just superb. For just one LEGO themed set there really is a lot to take in here for anybody interesting in all the sciences. I don’t know much about the other figure, George Washington Carver but I’ll found out about him.
I’m sure many science teachers will love this set to display in there classrooms, along with science and space enthusiasts like myself.
In my own words looking at the themes it leads to biology with the little bee, space exploration with NASA’s space shuttle and Voyager spacecraft. It even has the golden plaque that’s attached to the Voyager about the people of the Earth that’s now heading toward interstellar space.
The Carbon atom leads to chemistry, and the DNA strand leads to the genetic code of all living things on Earth. I love the little blackboard that shows the golden ratio formula and other things like satellites, robotics, computers, as I said there’s a lot here to take in with this clever compact science set!
There are also two hidden panels in the book on either side, which shows the spectrum of the Sun and some moss code…Wow! The little Ford car is also just a delight showing us how far we’ve come in creating our road vehicles.
I’ll try and make this set up in the coming week and will post my building pictures for you to see how it comes together, Noeleen :-)

Open a brick-built book on the evolution of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) with this LEGO® Ideas collectible display model for adults (21355).
An inspiring science gift for women, men and history-lovers, the set features a buildable base in the shape of an open book topped by mini builds that represent historic innovations. Build an early car and a home computer, the NASA Voyager Probe with the Golden Record on board for any extraterrestrial life form that may find it, and much more. Turn the dial to make a 3D replica of a carbon atom float upwards and a DNA strand rotate.
The set includes LEGO minifigures of 3 famous scientists: Marie Curie, the first person ever to win 2 Nobel prizes; Sir Isaac Newton, famous for his law of universal gravitation; and pioneering agricultural scientist George Washington Carver.
