Founder Safwaan Majid joined FOX 5 DC live on air to share BrickLabClips' mission with viewers nationwide.
The problem
Watching is easier than building.
Students can watch engineering projects from anywhere. The harder part is getting parts, tools, and buildable challenges into classrooms, clubs, and teams.
The goal is simple: connect online build energy to free project guides and school material requests, so more students can move from watching projects to making their own.
Income gap in hands-on activities
Parents in the lowest-income bracket reported technology and engineering activities at 27%, compared with 44% in the highest-income bracket. America After 3PM STEM Report

How it works
A simple build loop.
Build videos create attention. Sponsor support helps turn that attention into materials schools can use.
- 1. Watch builds: Short videos make engineering ideas visible.
- 2. Fund materials: Sponsors and revenue support school requests.
- 3. Ship parts: Approved requests become boxes sent to schools.
- 4. Students build: Classrooms build, share, and inspire the next project.
A letter from the U.S. Senate
Congressional Recognition
U.S. Senator Mark R. Warner congratulated Safwaan on establishing BrickLabClips and commended his leadership, advocacy, and commitment to expanding STEM materials and opportunities for students across Virginia.
I commend you for your vision and ingenuity.
Founder background
About Us
Safwaan created BricklabClips after seven years in competitive robotics through VEX, where building, competing, and mentoring made hands-on STEM feel real. Through that work, he saw how much access to parts, practice space, and support can shape what students are able to build.
His advocacy work focused on supporting public school robotics teams with unequal access to materials and opportunities. In 2024, Safwaan received the VEX Robotics International STEM Advocacy Award for that work. BricklabClips builds on the same belief: students should have the chance to make things themselves, not just watch other people build online.
