Summary: This event is for THIRD GRADE ONLY. It 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 completely up to each participating school. Family Friendly Event! Siblings welcome!
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 only. They may work individually or in teams or groups since this is probably an at home project unless a teacher chooses to use the school's LEGO's.
What: Create an original model using LEGO's (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. THE ACTUAL BOOK SHOULD BE DISPLAYED ALONG WITH THE LEGO PROJECT.
Where: Willow Grove Elementary School, 601 Willow Grove Street, Hackettstown, NJ 07840
When: Wednesday, January 24th, 2024 from 6:30pm-7:30pm (Storm Date 31st)
