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."

Quest #5 - A Creature

Challenge Number Five

"Design a creature.

A creature, is a living organism, generally the non-human kind. Insects, bugs, birds, animals, sea creatures, plants, fungus, micro-organisms, maybe even other worldly?

This creature can be something that already exists, or it can be something that you have just discovered. It can live on Earth, or a different planet.

What I would like to know is its habitat - the environment in which it lives. You can tell me anything about this creature to describe it, like its name, what it eats, etc. Share as much or as little information as you like.

Here are the cool creations kids from around the world made in response to this challenge."
