Unidesk Lego® village raises hundreds for charity

Several times a year, the Unidesk employees pull together to support our favorite charities. Given our affinity for building and design, we decided that for this holiday season's event, we would all work together to create a Lego village, voting on the most creative and best executed entry. The winner got to pick their favorite charity to receive the donation.

Each employee was supplied with a base and a set of similar Legos, with only 1 rule: to bring our city together, you need to have a road running in a straight line through your base. Many of us joined forces and pieces and worked in teams, while others recruited their children to help. Together, we created 15 incredibly cool entries.

The winner was a cityscape depiction of our software, with buildings, cars, bikes, and people representing the Unidesk virtual desktop management and delivery platform, creatively executed by our QA department. Way to go team! Stop motion animation videos soon to follow ;) Following a close second was a scene straight from the movie “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” while third and fourth depict beautiful island beaches. Other entries included Jurassic Park, killer robots, a resort with pool, windmills, green houses, and a dog park.

All of the entries were outstanding, creative, and just plain fun. I am already planning next year’s entry!
