LEGO Ideas X Target – Create A STEM-inspired Set

Posted By Adam White on Sep 13, 2023 | 0 comments

Following several partnerships including giving a past 10k LEGO® Ideas project a second chance of becoming a set, the LEGO Group and US retailer Target have launched a new challenge to find another future LEGO Ideas set. This is an entirely new contest and will result in a new project becoming a future LEGO Ideas set. The contest is on the lookout for projects inspired by STEM aka Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Fan submissions will not need to obtain 10,000 votes to be considered instead they must be inspired by one or more elements of STEM and feature between 50 to 1,000 elements. The overall winning project will become a future LEGO Ideas retail set. This will be exclusively sold by Target in the US as well as being available from LEGO.com and LEGO stores globally. You have until October 17th to enter, learn more below.

Celebrate the Wonder of STEM

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math! All four of these fields demand innovation, creativity and problem solving. We think that designing the next LEGO Ideas x Target set will also demand these three skills!

And that’s exactly what is up for grabs in this Challenge, the chance at becoming the next LEGO Ideas Fan Designer; by designing a model celebrating STEM.

Your submission should celebrate at least one of the STEM themes but can feature more than one. Or all four!

To get the ball rolling, here are some inspirational suggestions and ideas for each area of STEM:

• Science – Not just experiments and research. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics! The animal kingdom, and the solar system all make up different areas of science.
• Technology – The wheel is technology! Although thousands of years old, this topic doesn’t have to be futuristic.
• Engineering – Although we see engineering as buildings and engines, what about movement? A clever purpose for something.
• Math – Something we all use every day, it fuels all other areas of STEM. But could it inspire a winning model from you?

Your submissions should:

• Not have any IP references.
• Your submission must be entirely new creations. Current or expired Product Ideas will not be accepted.
• Use between 50 and 1,000 LEGO elements in size approximately. At our discretion, we will reject any submissions that we believe to be under or over this brick limit.

A judging panel consisting of members of the LEGO Ideas Review Board and representatives from Target will select all the entries that participate in the Fan Vote.
