 * LEGOS on the LOOSE - Brick Lit**

=

 * Summary: **This is an open ended, free building event and the students can use any bricks, motors, gears etc. from their own collection of LEGO’s. __This is an expo not a competition__. Projects can be motorized. No formal presentations are required but people will be walking around asking questions about the projects. Students may work in groups since this will probably be an at-home project unless a teacher chooses to use the school’s LEGO’s. That decision is totally up to each participating school.======

__**Brick Lit(erature)**__

__Theme__: LEGO creation based on a book (character, setting, object, etc.) The student will interpret the book and create a LEGO project.

__Who__: Grade 3 students - Approx. 5-6 student projects. They may work individually or teams since this is probably an at-home project unless a teacher chooses to use the school's LEGO's Contact me if you have more participants. __What:__ Create an original model using LEGOS (no kits allowed) depicting something related to a book read by the student(s). The book can be a picture book or a novel. It is the student's choice.

A recognition award will be given to each student personally on stage and parents/families are invited to come and peruse the various projects.

__How__: All projects must be self-created. No store bought kits are allowed. Children must have an 81/2 x 11 in. sign with their project title and their school name. No display board is necessary. Projects should be no larger than 15x15

As mentioned above, this is an expo, so no judging will be done. The purpose of this event is to encourage creative thinking and problem solving. If you have any questions, please contact us at your convenience.
