Chicago educators are challenged to enter the LEGO® Smart™ Creativity Contest by creating an activity using only the bricks in one LEGO® Smart Kit. The contest will run through August 2009.
How to enter the LEGO® Smart™ Creativity Contest
Anyone who is a teacher or works in the educational field (including "home school educators, classroom aides, coaches, after-school facilitators, and administrators") can apply by requesting a LEGO® Smart Kit. Upon receiving a kit, entrants must brainstorm and create an educational activity teachers and students can perform with the kit, then use the online submission form to submit a description of the activity. Participants can send in as many ideas as they devise.
Anyone fascinated by the power of LEGO toys to teach can check out the LEGO Smart blog entries chronicling all submitted contest entries.
