World's Longest Bridges

In one of the early challenges the students were challenged to use their bricks economically to build the longest bridge that could hold their sidekick minifigure!



Some of them had 4G wifi and flower baskets.




Speedsters!

The children all had the same amount of pieces to build and test a speedster!


Some students used every single brick to add weight to the speedster, and some kept it low to the ground with smaller, wide-set wheels like a sports car.


We tested the speedsters down a big ramp and they were all Lego trailblazers!


The speedsters needed a cockpit to include mini-figure driver and at least two wheels, all the students went for four wheels for stability.


Polar Expedition!

During the Polar Expedition, the snow fell heavy so children had to pair up to build an igloo and a snow plough to pile the snow up!


The igloo needed to be big enough to shelter their minifigure from the arctic breeze.

Destination: Moon!

To retrieve an antidote buried in the moon's craters, the students solved a riddle which led them to build rockets to fly into space!


The space rockets needed to hold the sidekick in a cockpit and have landing gear!


This also included smaller space rover builds to help the astronauts detect the antidote on the moon's surface.



Off We Go!

Tuesday 24th October was the maiden voyage Around the World in 80 Bricks!


The students were given a passport to complete their travel documentation (including drawn photo IDs of both themselves and Lego sidekicks) before they were approved for departure!


It was time for our first adventure: would it be to the sea depths or astronomical heights? Time is of the essence, we leave at first light!
