The “CAN YOU BUILD IT BETTER?” Contest

Last year, in our first ever LEGO/brick building contest, hundreds joined in. So of course we wanted to do it again!

This time the theme is “things that aren’t but should be” – we want you to improve on whatever you want. Would your alarm clock be better if it had a coffee pot on top? Should your car have 6 wheels instead of 4? Would your cat run faster if he had rollerblades on? Our God is the Grand Inventor, and as His Image-bearers, we can echo His creativity!

Theme: Things that aren’t but should be

Create something entirely new. It can be functional, fun, or out-of-this-world.

RP plans to share as many of the entries as we can online – maybe even all of them! – with some also appearing in our March/April issue, along with links to the videos.

Categories

1. Age 0-9
2. Ages 10-13
3. Ages 14-17
4. Ages 18+

Prizes

$200 gift certificate towards Lego for each category
