Lego skyscraper scramble

A youthworkshop from EMF 2024 by Arlo Gillespie & Flora Cornish

On Sunday June 2, 2024 at in Youth Workshop

How high a lego skyscraper can you build with 1kg of lego? What is the perfect balance between sturdiness and height? Do you prioritise strong foundations or elegant spires? Can you build a tower that is taller than you? In this workshop, you will collaborate in small teams of 2-3 children and their adults, to reach for the sky with your lego creations. We will provide each team with a 1kg box of mixed lego bricks and unusual lego pieces. You will discover new ways of using lego to achieve unheard-of heights. Enter your skyscrapers into the the height test, the beauty competition, the ‘original’ competition, and for the very confident builders, the earthquake test!
