Sneak a math lesson into your tower building.

Grab some tape and get ready to create a dazzling collection of towers! 1. This list has tons of ideas for building towers from just about anything you have lying around the house. Their contribution to the battle scene, featuring a pair of articulated mechs, was lively and entertaining, but their superhero lair simply paled in comparison to Tyler and Amy's "Temple of the Fire Scorpion," which was named the winner of the challenge.Are your kids already stacking everything into super-tall towers? Channel that energy into awesome STEM and STEAM activities that build motor skills and push the bounds of your kids’ imaginations! Let them explore different tower designs as they compete to build the biggest towers. The story requirements of this challenge seemed pretty clear, but for some reason Aaron and Christian became hung up on the idea of basing their half of the story - which starred a programmer and a space bounty hunter - around a bake sale, which in no way related to either character. The two teams collaborated on a third build in between them, representing a grand battle between their two sets of characters. Aaron and Christian were to make a secret headquarters for randomly-selected minifig superheroes, while Tyler and Amy would create a lair for their supervillains. "Worst" is a relative term, after all.Īaron and Christian made it into the final four, at which point they were assigned to team up with eventual season winners Tyler and Amy for the "Good vs. This goes to show how fierce the competition had become by this point in the season, as "Bricksburg" is still a pretty impressive build. This still wasn't enough to tie their discordant buildings together, however, landing them in the bottom two. Mel and Jermaine used this twist to their advantage, besetting Winter Plaza with an attack by a giant abominable snowman. The teams completed their city blocks in fourteen hours, but the challenge wasn't over - now they would have an additional four hours to turn their builds into the setting of a battle scene. On the ground floor of the complex, minifigures enjoyed a skating rink and other winter delights, but the buildings themselves didn't seem to reflect their theme particularly well.

Beside it stood two smaller, more colorful buildings that they hoped would appeal to Brickmaster Amy, who had asked for something vibrant this round. Mel focused on building a skyscraper with floor-to-ceiling windows, but the tower took so long to construct that there wasn't enough time remaining to populate the building with minifigures. "Alien Attack's" baseboards split apart while the build was being carried to the podium, preemptively breaking the project before the bat could even hit it. It was a clever idea (though perhaps better suited to death by explosion than by a swinging club) that did not come together in the final build, which was not only cluttered but structurally unsound. Their build, "Alien Attack," told the story of an astronaut who had absentmindedly dropped the keys to his spaceship, which were picked up by some malicious aliens who'd set their craft ablaze. Jessie Rex and Kara Fletcher, "The LEGO Ladies of the Ozarks," drew the baseball bat as the instrument of their build's demise, and set out to create a space scene for Arnett to gleefully destroy. Based on the mode of demolition, teams were tasked with creating an outer space-themed build that made its destruction part of the story. Luckily, "Dream Park" was revealed not to be an elimination challenge.īefore building, each team randomly selected one of three methods by which their next project would be smashed - either dropped off the studio balcony, blown up with explosives, or smashed open with a baseball bat swung by host Will Arnett. Eventually (and apparently, offscreen) Manny relented and completed the coaster's circuit, but its drop still did not generate enough momentum to complete a lap on its own.
CHRISTIAN LEGO SKYSCRAPER SCIENCE PROJECT UPDATE
When Brickmaster Jamie advised him that half a roller coaster wasn't going to perform well in the competition, Manny resisted Nestor's pleas to update the build to meet the judges' standards. Manny did not initially interpret this rule as meaning that the ride had to move on its own, so he initially included a hand-propelled roller coaster with an incomplete circuit on his landscape. One of the conditions of the contest was that each team's build had to include one ride that moves. The first was "Dream Park Theme Park," in which each team was asked to contribute one segment of a massive minifig-scale LEGO theme park that would combine all of their work. Unfortunately, in the first episode, that enthusiasm did not translate into a competitive build.
