Are you LEGO® Smart™? Are your students? Being LEGO Smart is more than building with LEGO® bricks. It’s having the ability to work in teams, solve problems, and create solutions. It means understanding key science, technology, engineering, and math concepts – not just on paper, but through demonstration. LEGO Smart students don’t just know it, they DO it. The sets, software, and curriculum designed by LEGO Education harness the power of the LEGO brick and combine to create learning opportunities for students that will help develop the skills needed for a lifetime of creating, solving, and contributing to a global society. Be LEGO Smart – be the future.
Now through August 2009, LEGO Education is hosting an activity challenge for educators of all grades and subject areas!
The LEGO Smart Creativity Contest begins with your imagination and ends with one Grand Prize and eight monthly winners, online recognition, and the chance to share your activity with thousands of students across the nation!
The task is simple. Create an activity using only the bricks included in a LEGO Smart Kit.
Anyone employed or working in the education field is eligible to participate. This includes teachers, home school educators, classroom aides, after-school facilitators, coaches, and administrators! One free kit is provided per request. The contest is limited to online participation only, no purchase necessary.
Come join the challenge! Visit www.LEGOeducation.us/CreativityContest or click the contest logo found on our homepage for details!
I am part of a One to One showcase school in Walled lake Consolidated schools in Michigan. I would like to use your smart kit to have kids investigate their building and engineering ideas. Your help with a free kit would be much appreciated.
I would like to use your smart kit to acquaint my undergraduate teacher preparation students with programs and materials you have for schools. I teach both creative arts methods and math methods so the contest would be a perfect opportunity for them to see how they can use LEGOS and encourage creative thinking.

Don't you mean ...grades...?
I have not seen my entry. Is there a reason? Also, since I requested a kit the same day I sent an entry in, should I assume that was not received and start over?
Thank you
