Build on Ice
Presenting the 2 025 Christchurch Brick Show LEGO Competition:
Build on Ice
a LEGO competition brought to you by Imagination Station and Antarctica NZ
This year, we have teamed up with Antarctica NZ to help inspire designs for the new Scott Base. This event will celebrate creativity and innovation and has a multitude of potential tie-ins with school curricula, especially around resources and environments.
If your school doesn’t have LEGO, that's no barrier: the first 40 schools will receive a five-week loan of an Antarctica themed Imagination Station LEGO kit!

Theme: Antarctica (e.g. landscape, animals, buildings, science, vehicles) Antarctica New Zealand has provided some great resources to support classroom learning and give you some great ideas on what to build. There is a broad scope to help you meet some of your DDDOs and other aspects of your 2025 curricula and themes.
Registration and entry is FREE!

LEGO School Entry
Participating schools will receive a five-week loan of an identical box of 500 pieces of Antarctic coloured LEGO (Imagination Station LEGO kit). This is sufficient for one build, and with digital competition entries, it is expected that builds will be dismantled for other student build entries. Participating schools are to enter a minimum of 5 builds. School Entries can be individual, group or class, but must use the Imagination Station LEGO kit. The Imagination Station LEGO kit will be loaned to up to 40 schools for a five-week period during terms 1 and 2, 2025. Entries are either an A3 poster or 4-8 google slides per build entry
