Oman’s First LEGO Expo held at Cheltenham Muscat

Cheltenham Muscat hosted Oman’s very first LEGO Expo recently on its campus, which brought together a growing community of young builders, educators and partners to celebrate creativity, collaboration and hands-on learning.

From the moment doors opened, the atmosphere was one of excitement and curiosity. Tables were filled with intricate builds – from detailed city scapes and moving models to inventive problem-solving designs – each one telling a story. Pupils proudly stood by their creations, talking guests through their ideas, their process and, in many cases, the challenges they had overcome along the way.

Pupils from Cheltenham Muscat were joined by peers from Sultan School, Ellesmere Muscat, ABA, Digital Private School, Muruj Al Marifa Private School, AGS, Royal Flight, Our Planet International School, TAISM, and Indian Schools, alongside families and invited guests, all sharing in a collective appreciation for imagination and ingenuity. 

The event also welcomed key partners, including the Event Lead Partner: Future Education Academy, and key sponsors like Virgin Radio Oman, Blue Balloonia, and Macaroon House Oman, reflecting a growing interest in creative, skills-based learning across the region.

Cheltenham Muscat played a central role in bringing the Expo to life. 

The school’s Academy department led the planning and delivery in collaboration with Future Education Academy, building on its successful “Brain & Build” LEGO programme. Senior pupils including those enrolled in the Academy Ambassadors course, were closely involved, playing a key role in planning and delivering the event. They supported areas such as logistics, layout and volunteering on the day, helping ensure a smooth and successful whole-school effort.

Mr. Richard Snape, Principal, Cheltenham Muscat said: “Our aim is always to create opportunities where learning feels alive, relevant and inspiring. The LEGO Expo was a wonderful example of this in action. To see our pupils so engaged, so articulate and so proud of their work was incredibly special. We are equally proud to have hosted Oman’s first event of this kind, bringing together schools, families and partners in a way that truly reflects the spirit of our community.”
