A special activity for children and youth will be held during the Kennett Alliance for the Arts' Fall Into Arts Festival to be held Saturday, September 12th, in Downtown Kennett, MO. Youth will have the opportunity to play with a core set of Lego Blocks, along with other blocks and sets. The LEGO area will be set up in the Opera House and will be supervised by the KHS Robotics Club members.
Youth wanting to participate in the LEGO Activity Zone will be given a LEGO LearnToLearn Core Set that comes with the components needed to solve a variety of activities presented in the curriculum pack. The kits carefully chosen elements include a selection of colorful basic bricks and specialty pieces, two mini-figures, and a baseplate, as well as a turntable and hinge so students can create models with movement.
This activity is intended to encourage creativity and to promote Beyond the Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary that will be shown as part of the festival's film component. Beyond the Brick is a documentary that takes a look at the global culture and appeal of the LEGO building-‐block toys. The film will be shown at Noon on Sunday, September 13th at the Kennett Palace Theater located at 224 1st Street.
There will also be an Original LEGO Creation Contest that will give youth AND adults a chance to show off their creative sides and win money! The contest is open to all, with prizes awarded by judges, as well as a viewer's choice award. "Original" refers to no kit-themed constructions. Please bring completed entries to the Kennett Palace Theater by Wednesday, September 9th! The entries will be displayed during the Fall Into Arts Film Festival on Sunday, September 13th.
