Lego Crash Derby Draws Students

The after-school “Lego Club” at Harrison Park Elementary School drew over 85 students to its February meeting.  The club, spearheaded by Student Learning Assistant Mr. Noah Brundrett, is open to all students in grades K-5.  Members of the high school’s Community Action Program were present to assist Mr. Brundrett with the popular activity.

  

February’s challenge was called ‘falling for you crash derby.’  The object was to build a strong structure that could withstand a launch down a ramp and a collision at the bottom.  “Students challenged their friends, and Legos were everywhere,” commented Mr. Brundrett.  “This is one of my favorite themes as it's one of the few times in a kid's life they can crash Legos together and not get in trouble! Quite a smashing experience!”
