LEGO HOLIDAY HOUSE BUILDING CONTEST!!

When? Saturday, December 5th from 12pm-2pm @ the Roxbury Public Library

What? Bring your LEGOs* and build a holiday house/scene that measures no more than 12in x 12in and no higher than 24 in. You can bring any other accessories (as long as they do not need electricity and they are not perishable). The house/scene must be primarily built out of LEGOs and must be built @ the library.

All LEGO scenes will be immediately judged and then will go on display after the competition. They will remain on display through December 31st and then may be picked up by the participant (so you will get all of your LEGOs back).

Age categories: ES – Grades K-4 MS – Grades 5-8 HS – Grades 9-12

Prizes will be awarded for each age category.

*LEGOs can be provided by the library if you do not have any. Please mention that you need to borrow LEGOs when you register.

A VERY SPECIAL thank you goes out to the generous patrons who have donated LEGOs. We also received a wonderful donation from MIT!!!
