se Event at the San Juan County Fairgrounds. 

 

The Showcase Event is a customizable building activity that sparks creativity in participants by allowing them to use their imaginations to create LEGO models around a theme. The theme for this event is "Cinco de Mayo fiesta, OLÉGO style!" The "Cinco de Mayo Fiesta"  theme was selected to help families facilitate a sense of unity with others by recognizing the importance of all cultures and histories.

 

“By hosting a LEGO Education Showcase Event we are offering community members the opportunity to work together to explore and build.  This will foster the type of unity we hope to facilitate,” said event lead, Miriam Peterson. “We will also be celebrating the addition of new LEGO Education Space and Airport Sets to the Raptor Robotics curricula which will be used to enhance and expand the study of science, technology, engineering, and math for young learners.”  

The LEGO Education Showcase Grant was made available through Education Blueprints Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing learning resources and programs that deliver education solutions to individuals, teachers, and students. Only 100 LEGO Education Showcase Grants were available nation-wide.

 
 
We have over 22,000 Legos and you are invited to come join with us in celebrating Cinco de Mayo and celebrate our accomplishments at the World Championships!
