About this Event

It's Time for Another Boy Genius LEGO & Literacy Event!

Theme: Fathers & Formula 1

Just in time for Father's Day weekend, start your engines and bring your young builder for an exciting, hands-on event designed especially for boys (and girls) to explore reading and STEM through LEGO and books! This special edition celebrates the bond between fathers and their children through the high-speed world of Formula 1.

Boys (and girls) and their father, parent, caregiver, or mentor will receive a Formula 1-themed LEGO kit to build together — a perfect pit stop for connection, creativity, and learning.

The program features special remarks from Franklin County Commissioners and a live reading from a mystery guest reader who will bring the story to life in an unforgettable way!

Thanks to the generous support of Commissioner Erica Crawley and the Franklin County Board of Commissioners, every participant will enjoy pizza, a drawstring bag, a Boy Genius T-shirt, and a book courtesy of 2nd & 7.

What better way to kick off Father's Day weekend than building, reading, and racing together? Pizza and refreshments will be provided. Don't miss this fun and inspiring experience that puts fathers and children in the driver's seat together!


🏁 Saturday, June 13 | Free Admission
