It is not about winners or losers; it is how the game is played. In addition to the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the White Sox and Cubs are off to a swinging season. Inspired by all the sports buzz going on right now, LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Schaumburg is scouting for local youth baseball and hockey teams to enter its first-ever 'team building' competition. Teams are encouraged to send a picture with a description of what their team would create out of LEGO bricks to build team spirit. Points will be awarded for creativity, originality and a sense of humor. Groups can also bring their creations to life by visiting the Center and working with the Master Model Builder.
One local hockey team and one local baseball team will advance to the playoffs - a face off of aspiring athletes using LEGO bricks to 'build' team spirit, creativity and cooperation. Through a series of grueling sports-themed challenges, culminating in a giant mosaic building showdown, one team will emerge victorious and walk away with a trophy made of LEGO bricks.
Ben Sweet, General Manager at LEGOLAND Discovery Center, said: "Being a LEGOLAND Discovery Center team player won't be as simple as just being able to follow instructions to build a great model."
"It's about coming together to use your team spirit to be able to build quickly and accurately, no matter how limited your selection of bricks. And we want to test Chicagoland's sports competitiveness to find the best local team out there."
Entries can be submitted online at the LEGOLAND Discovery Center's website or Facebook Fan Page. All contest entries will be posted on the Master Model Builder's blog online and around the LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Schaumburg and the best teams from each sport will go forward to the playoff.
LEGOLAND Discovery Center Chicago in Schaumburg is designed for families with children aged 2 to 12 looking for
