Abstract : LEGO^® bricks are a versatile and engaging tool for science communication and outreach. By using LEGO^® to build miniaturized models of scientific facilities and instruments, researchers can educate the public and fellow investigators about complex scientific concepts in a fun and accessible way. In this work, we describe the construction of two large-scale LEGO^® models of the Munich Compact Light Source (MuCLS), a cutting-edge research facility that produces quasi-monochromatic high-intensity X-rays for various scientific applications.
