"Spring is the transition period between winter and summer. It is seen as a time of growth, renewal and new life for both plants and animals.
The axis of the Earth is increasing its tilt towards the sun, which warms the Earth and causes new plant growth.
What does spring mean to you? Create something out of LEGO that reminds you of spring and tell me about it.
Here are the wonderful spring inspired creations kids from around the world made for this challenge."
-Lego Quest
I'll just add that Spring also reminds us of Easter and the new creations that we are in Jesus Christ, our Lord. We welcome any Lego creations along this theme as well.

In Minnesota it's currently 13 degrees with a healthy layer of snow on the ground. I'm hoping that by mid April the snow will be melted and we'll be close to packing away the winter gear! Our family will just be a couple weeks away from the end of our school year by then. Anticipation!

Quest #6 - Bridge
"Can you construct a bridge out of LEGO?
Your bridge may connect two structures, it might provide passage over a river or roadway. It might be scaffolding, a catwalk, a gangplank an arch, even a branch. The idea is, it reaches/spans/extends a distance.
Experiment with how long you can make this extention, while still keeping it stable. Also, try to see if your bridge can hold any weight. You can use coins, cars, LEGO men, whatever you like to place on your bridge to see if they can be held up.
Here are all the bridge designs kids from all over the world created for this challenge."
