When asked about how they think they benefitted from Lego, the grads said the toy helped to develop their spatial organization, creativity and concentration skills.
These and other benefits of Lego have long been understood in the world of education.
Playing with the bricks also helps a child's motor skills, said Arina Aktova at The Scots College in Sydney, one of Australia's most prestigious schools.
"Children practise dexterity as they connect Lego pieces of different sizes and shapes," she writes.

Playing with Lego can also boost things like problem-solving and teamwork skills, she said.
