<span itemprop="name">An Excellently Unique LEGO Set</span>
<span itemprop="description">This is an excellently unique LEGO set. I plan on giving several as gifts as well. While some reviewers are tooting their horn about B-DNA being the dominant right-handed form, let’s not ignore Z-DNA—the naturally occurring left-handed cousin of B-DNA! Maybe LEGO was just thinking ahead, giving underrepresented DNA structures a little time in the spotlight. Let’s not be pedants picking apart a toy meant to inspire, not pass peer review. This isn’t The New England Journal of Medicine—it’s LEGO. Let’s play!</span>

<span itemprop="name">Fun educational activity for teens on summer break</span>
<span itemprop="description">[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 12-year-old son had fun building this set in his summer break. It's also educational.
We didn’t rush it. He worked on it over a few days so no one ended up with sore eyes. The build was engaging, with a bunch of cool moving parts. My son especially liked turning the knob at the bottom that makes the DNA twist and the little carbon model go up and down. It’s simple but fun to see it all come to life.
What I liked most was the chance to talk about the science behind it. There are three scientists featured in the set, and I tried to explain what they did and why it matters. The booklet has some info, but the print is tiny. My son didn’t have the patience to read it. Honestly, I wish LEGO had included a short educational video to make the science stuff more engaging for kids, like Mark Rober's videos.
Also, a glossary or index at the back of the booklet would’ve made it easier to find the right info when questions came up.
All in all, we had a great time building it together, mostly my son. It’s a nice fun activity for the summer break.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Lovely STEM LEGO set!</span>
<span itemprop="description">[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved this LEGO set. Did this over two different Sundays - like all LEGO sets the instructions were easy to follow - really enjoyed the educational tidbits in the instruction booklet to explain the significance of the parts you were assembling. Can also see that while I will be displaying this for a while, disassembly and rebuild value is high as long as you keep the instruction booklet that lists all the parts in the end.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Build and learn</span>
<span itemprop="description">[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was both fun and educational to assemble this piece. As you follow along in the instructions, there are descriptions of the parts being built so you can understand the meaning behind them. As you would expect from Lego, the quality is great and there were no issues with missing pieces. This would be a great gift for a teacher or scientist.</span>

<span itemprop="name">So much fun to put together!!</span>
<span itemprop="description">[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This only took me about 3 hours to put together I did part by the pool lol…….there were a few challenging moments but it was a lot of fun for sure….I loved all the different details in the set but wished some of them weren’t covered….this was much smaller then I was expecting…. I also loved all the educational information in the book that you read along the way of building…..this is such a cool set to have and a must if you ask me….my girls even helped along the way and even looked up information on each of the things…..</span>

<span itemprop="name">Love this set!</span>
<span itemprop="description">[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a lifelong LEGO fan and science enthusiast, The Evolution of STEM is one of the most thoughtful and inspiring sets I’ve built. The concept of showcasing key STEM milestones on the pages of an open book is both creative and symbolic. The details are fantastic—tiny builds like the rotating DNA helix, chalkboard equations, and space shuttle capture major scientific breakthroughs in a compact and artistic way. The three minifigures—Marie Curie, Isaac Newton, and George Washington Carver—are well chosen and beautifully detailed, adding a personal touch to the story of discovery.
I loved the hidden Easter eggs like the Morse code for “STEM” and the rainbow color spectrum. While the DNA twists the wrong direction scientifically, and some builds (like the bee) are a bit fiddly, these are minor flaws in an otherwise excellent set. It’s a fantastic display piece and a great conversation starter.
This set is ideal for older kids, teens, or adults who love science, teaching, or education. It would make a great classroom gift or desk model for a teacher or scientist.</span>
