2014 – Data Storytelling with LEGOs

LEGO blocks are convenient tools to progressively construct a physical visualization while unfolding a story. In the same vein as Hans Rosling's educational stories on data, Brookings fellows use LEGO bricks to explain societal concerns such as how much the U.S. tax system helps shrink the gap between extreme social classes¹ and the chances for economic success of Americans born at the bottom of the economic ladder ².
