LEGO MRI Project
LEGO models of MRI scanners that help children feel safe before a scan.
A pediatric outreach that builds LEGO models of MRI scanners to help children understand and feel safe before medical scans. By turning a frightening machine into something familiar, it eases anxiety for young patients.
Families and hospitals can use the models to walk children through what an MRI is, what it sounds like, and what to expect — before they ever enter the scanner room.
Focus areas
Pediatric anxiety relief
Familiar, friendly models reduce fear before real medical scans.
Hands-on familiarization
Children explore how an MRI works through play before the appointment.
Hospital outreach
Models shared with families and clinics to support young patients.
