Can your pupils create a model that describes what a fun lesson looks like to them? If so, you could win a classroom set of LEGO® Education BuildToExpress for your school!
To celebrate the launch of BuildToExpress we’re running a competition to help teachers and students get hands-on with this exciting new resource.
To enter BuildToExpress 2012, order your free competition pack here, then follow these steps:
Step 1: Ask your students to each build a model to represent what they think a fun lesson looks like to them using the bricks in the pack.
Step 2: Take a picture of the model.
Step 3: Log on to Flickr (it’s free to create an account if you don’t have one) and search for LEGO Education UK BuildToExpress 2012 and join the LEGO Education UK BuildToExpress group.
Step 4: Upload your photos of your model to this group – you can submit up to 4 photos per model and as many models as you like!
Step 5: Add a description of your model and what the key parts represent in no more than 50 words along with the name of the creator, their age and the school.
What is LEGO Education BuildToExpress?
LEGO Education BuildToExpress empowers students of all abilities to creatively communicate their thoughts and feelings. Students are tasked with buildings models that illustrate their understanding of various curriculum concepts. Each BuildToExpress set includes over 200 LEGO elements in a separate storage unit. They have been carefully selected to provide a broad spectrum of “ready-made metaphors”. The colorful bricks, accessories and Minifigures inspire students and stimulate their creative thinking and imagination.
For added inspiration for your entries, we got our team here to create some models on what an ‘ideal day in the office’ looks like to them. You can take a look at them here.
We look forward to seeing your entries!
Notes: All photos must be submitted by Friday 30th November 2012. Winners will be notified by Friday 14th December 2012 and winning schools will be contacted by telephone / e-mail. By submitting a photo you agree to its promotional use by LEGO Education.
Have you got any sets left? Are you repeating this in 2013? Would a home schooling group qualify as a ‘school’ for this competition?
Unfortunately we have no sets left. We run a competition each year but the 2013 theme has not been decided yet. And yes, a home schooling group would qualify!
