evidence: The LEGO Foundation recently announced that it is donating 600 LEGO MRI scanner kits to hospitals around the globe, according to a company press release. Designed in 2015 by LEGO employee Ullerlund Staehr along with the Odense University Hospital in Denmark, the project is now being piloted with four training videos for hospital staff. The kits are not for sale and are being produced just for hospitals "I’m extremely proud of this project and the positive impact it’s already had, Staehr said in the press release. "I’ve seen first-hand how children have responded to these models; making them feel more relaxed and turning an often highly stressful experience into a positive, playful one." [...] I have a small weekend project - LEGO is donating model MRI Scanners to hospital Radiology departments to help children who may be nervous understand the process. I get to build one! pic.twitter.com/9C5MzulNtK — Fraser Lovatt (@fraserlovatt) January 22, 2022 "MRI Scanners are huge machines. They also make a lot of noise which can be very daunting for children, said Ulla Jensen from the Department of Radiology at Odense University. [...] The LEGO model MRI can be opened up by the children to reveal what’s inside the machine, reported Interesting Engineering. The colors of the model even reflect a hospital setting; white, gray and blue. The kit comes with two doctors and a patient who is about to enter the machine.
