Mega Construx™, part of the Mattel® brand portfolio, partnered with YTV Corus Entertainment to call on children to submit their stories about how they have helped bring their community together and have made people feel welcome and accepted – in other words Build Beyond™. By submitting their stories, kids were entered to win 1 of ten trips to Ottawa to help build a Mega Construx™ monument, inspired by their stories, with a Master Builder.
“We set out to create a platform for those we call Beyonders, children who have big imaginations and help us see beyond our differences, challenge the norm and invent the unexpected,” said Alicia Sumar, Marketing, MEGA Brands, Canada. “This initiative was designed with the goal of empowering children across Canada to build, and share their vision of the future.”
10 CANADIAN BEYONDERS™The monument, constructed out of over a million of Mega Construx™ bricks, will be revealed at the Ottawa Children’s Festival on May 10. Local Canadian architect, Jean Beaudoin, and Master Builders will be at the helm of a team of ten Beyonders™, to bring their vision of unity and acceptance to life. The design of the installation is interactive in nature, enabling those who participate to live out the brand’s motto to Build Beyond™.
The ten finalists from across Canada are:
Callie G., Edmonton, ABStefan V., Edmonton, ABBrittany P., Hamilton, ONJames R., Guelph, ONCody S., Toronto, ONJesse E., Brockville, ONAbigail V., Acton, ONCade M., Ottawa, ONWilliam H., St. Dieppe, NBAiden W., Buffalo Narrows, SK
“As a father and someone who builds and creates for a living, I know firsthand how important play is to igniting imagination for children,” said Jean Beaudoin, Canadian architect and designer of the Mega Construx™ monument. “The monument design is intended to inspire creativity and social involvement through a playfully interactive experience. I am honoured to be part of the Build Beyond project that’s inspired by children from across Canada who are building their vision of the future.”
“At Mega Construx we believe that a brick isn’t just a brick, but a gateway beyond,” said Sumar. “To us, each brick represents an opportunity to not only build a new toy, or in this case, a monument, but to build a better community and ultimately a better world.”
