- Enter the Super Science LEGO Ideas challenge to win a ton of goodies
- Imagine the brightest future or come up with the cleverest invention to win
- Walk away with some of the most iconic science-inspired LEGO sets
The LEGO Group has announced a brand-new contest on LEGO Ideas that will seek to inspire you to make scientific breakthroughs. The Super Science Challenge, published on the LEGO Ideas website celebrates the success of the LEGO Ideas The Evolution of STEM (21355) set, which will further inspire builders when they pursue their own projects.
Look in the Past or Imagine the Future to Win the LEGO Ideas Contest
The LEGO Group wants you to try and think about some scientific invention and come up with a brand-new take on it. As the official press release puts it, it may be something that combines scientific principle with boundless creativity, such as a bus that runs on rain cloud energy, or a snack-dispensing time machine (why not!) or even a fire-proof fire engine!
The truth is, argues the LEGO Ideas website, that there is no right or wrong – just creativity. If you can imagine it, the stipulation goes, it is probably scientifically feasible, with LEGO offering you a number of popular opportunities to pick from:
- Historical innovations
- Fantastical future
- Bold breakthroughs
- Weird and wonderful
Each of these areas are just general guidelines. The idea is to draw inspiration from science but think of a way to revolutionize the invention’s purpose. For example, something as simple as a light bulb could have an immense impact on people’s lives, argues the press release, if it’s equipped with something unexpected.
In the Fantastical Future category, players are invited to tinker with a futuristic outlook that could involve a new type of building, one with floating floors, or a mode of transportation such as teleportation that is built in brick.
The Greatest Inventors Will Claim the Biggest Bounty
Yet, builders are also encouraged to think outside of the box and perhaps imagine something that would be a completely different breakthrough or invention that has the potential to turn the world around for the better, saving the planet, oceans, and more. The contest offers a ton of rewards. The Grand Prize winner will be able to scoop up the following list of goodies:
- The Evolution of Stem (21355)
