Introducing the Build Your SPARK LEGO Brick Build Challenge

What’s YOUR Spark? Everybody has a skill, talent, interest, or special quality that lights them up — we call these SPARKS! They bring joy, purpose, and direction, and this LEGO challenge is all about celebrating what makes you uniquely you.

Youth AND adults are invited to design and build a LEGO creation that represents one of your personal sparks. Let your imagination lead the way! Starts March 1- Ends April 1, 2026

Each entry may include up to three photos from different angles. Enter as an individual or team — everyone is welcome!

Save the Date: Join us for a fun Viewing Party on April 12 to celebrate all the amazing builds!

Let’s see what inspires YOU. Show us your creativity, passion, and of course… your SPARK!
