LEGO CLICK Awards 2009
Are “Why?” and “How?” your favorite questions? Have people told you that you have a “big imagination”? Do you like to find out how things are made? If so, you just might have what it takes to be an inventor.
Are “Why?” and “How?” your favorite questions? Have people told you that you have a “big imagination”? Do you like to find out how things are made? If so, you just might have what it takes to be an inventor.
Most inventions happen as a sort of accident while doing something else. But when they happen in the presence of a particularly curious person, someone who likes to think differently, they can become big ideas like Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone, Abner Doubleday’s baseball, or even one of the world’s favorite toys – LEGO® bricks.
Look around the room you’re in right now, your house, your classroom or your neighborhood: someone dared to think differently to invent everything you see. Because anyone can be inventive, we want to know what’s your BIG idea? What’s your invention?
Maybe you already have an idea. If so, that’s great! Tell us all about it. If you need a little inspiration, think of things you like to do and what might make them easier, better or more fun. Look at a few of your favorite toys, shoes, household appliances or sports equipment and consider what might make them even more wonderful.
Now, tell us, Young Inventor, because we are curious people too:
1) If you could invent anything, what would it be? Describe how to use it. How did you get the idea?
How to Enter
It’s easy to enter – you just have to be between 6-13 years old and share your idea with us. Five winners will each be awarded a $5,000 savings bond to celebrate and encourage his/her inventive spirit! Check out the official rules with your parents and be sure to make the deadline – all answers must be received by November 2, 2009. We look forward to hearing from you!
