LEGO-rama – the program for young Master Builders will be Saturday, Jan. 21, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the Community Room at the Coeur d’Aalene Public Library, 702 E. Front.

“Build a Better World” is this year’s challenge theme. Competitors can create something depicting an invention or scenario that will help to make the world a better place to live. The only limit is their imaginations.

Competitors need to also write a brief background story to display with their entry. (Adults can assist younger competitors who may not be able to write yet.)

One entry per participant is allowed in the contest for ages 4 to 13. Entries must be original designs – not a LEGO or compatible brand kit – built by the participant without adult assistance. Entries are limited to a 15-by-15 inch footprint (the space it occupies on a table). Judging will be in age groups 4-7, 8-10, and 11-13.

For the fifth year, judging and this year’s program will be provided by members of the Tera Viks FIRST Robotics Club at Coeur d’Alene High School. This year’s exhibits will also include a LEGO train layout and a table of SPLAT science and technology experiments.

Entries should be built prior to being brought to the library and can be delivered to the Community Room as early as 10:30 a.m. Judging will be from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Certificates will be awarded in each age group. A People’s Choice award will also be made based on audience voting.

Anyone age 14 and older may display designs, but these will not be included in judging. Exhibition Category entries are also limited to a 15-by-15 inch footprint.

Complete rules are available in the Seagraves Children’s Library or online at www.cdalibrary.org/legorama.
