Welcome to Lego Quest for Homeschoolers

Welcome homeschool Lego lovers.  This blog has been created on behalf of my Lego-loving kids.  It is a place for homeschooled students (Pre K to 12th grade) to be inspired to create and to share the outcome.  All the project ideas come from an amazing creative woman who created Lego Quest, so all credit goes to her.  Thank you!

Lego Quest for Homeschoolers Basics:

There will be one challenge posted each month to this blog site
-view the challenge
-create the challenge
-E-mail me (legoquestforhomeschoolers@gmail.com) a picture(s) by the deadline provided each month including the

     student's first name only, age, and state (example: by Luke, age 6, Minnesota). 

If you are submitting work for multiple students please email them one at a time. (The student's projects will need to be received by the deadline in order to be posted to the website)

There is no commitment to participate each month, join us as you are able.

There is no charge to join this group however at this time I'm only allowing roughly 30 students to join.  Update: there are currently no restrictions on the number of participants.

As the group grows there may be new instructions to come or changes made to these "basics".  I'll keep you posted.

Thank you!
