STEM Leaders and JP Buddies

The exciting 4 week Lego Masters Challenge has finally come to a close. It was impressive to have between 35 -50 students participating each week. Each team consisted of 3-5 Lego-building competitors, who designed building creations out of Lego pieces based on a given theme and within a 20 minute time period. 

Once the time was up, the teams showed their creations to the STEM Team Leaders Jackson, Kai, Max c and Tai .  Each week, the winning team was awarded 15 points for their design. Points were also awarded to individual teams for their cooperation, communication and creativity. In the Lego Masters finale, the top teams competed for a Lego prize and the title of Lego Masters. We would like to congratulate all the participants for their good behaviour and creative efforts. 

 It was difficult choosing the winning design over the 4 week block as there were lots of great building designs and passionate Lego enthusiasts. Congratulations to Katelin, Erica, Maddison, Lucy and Lily from TEAM Phoenix who scored  40 points making them the winners of the 2020 WBPS Lego Masters  Challenge.

 Check out some of different and creative designs that the children came up with during the weekly challenges. Here’s what some of the participants had to say about the Lego Masters Challenge. ______________________________________________________________________

I enjoyed all of the fun involved in the Lego challenge. When you finish you get a sticker. At the end you get a prize and it does not matter if you win or lose. It was fun to be involved. Judd – Room 9
