Britain's Cambridge University is planning to hire its very own professor of Lego.
According to the Cambridge Reporter, the university recently accepted £1.5 million ($2.3 million U.S.) from the Lego Foundation "to support a Research Centre on Play in Education, Development, and Learning within the Faculty of Education."
An additional £2.5 million ($3.9 million U.S.) from the foundation would fund a Lego professorship that would start in October, the BBC reports. The professor would lead the center.
The Lego Foundation, which reportedly owns 25 percent of the Lego Group, says its focus is to "build a future where learning through play empowers children to become creative, engaged, lifelong learners."
