Ever wished your coffee table could double as a mini science museum? LEGO has you covered with the LEGO Ideas The Evolution of STEM (21355) set. For US$79.99, you can build a brick-bound tribute to groundbreaking innovations in science, technology, engineering, and math—because nothing says “science enthusiast” quite like a floating carbon atom on display.

Perched atop an open book-shaped base, this 882-piece set packs delightful mini builds like the NASA Voyager Probe (complete with its interstellar mixtape), a home computer, and a robotic arm. But wait, there’s more: spin a dial to make a 3D carbon atom float and a DNA strand twist like it’s auditioning for a sci-fi movie.
Adding star power to your build are three LEGO minifigures: the ever-radiant Marie Curie (because two Nobel Prizes aren’t enough for one lifetime), Sir Isaac Newton (complete with an apple tree, naturally), and agricultural genius George Washington Carver.
When assembled, the set measures 10.5 inches (27 cm) high, 9 inches (23 cm) wide, and 7.5 inches (19 cm) deep. It’s available now from LEGO.com. Gift it to a STEM-loving pal—or keep it for yourself and impress house guests with your floating atom display skills.
The new LEGO Ideas The Evolution of STEM (21355) can be had for the aforementioned US$79.99 when it becomes available starting March 01, 2025.
