At Iowa State University, our students, faculty, staff, and alumni are constantly raising the bar and leaving their marks through innovative ideas, collaborations, and inventions. Now we’re taking that innovative spirit to the Iowa State Fair!
As part of the Ignite LEGO® Challenge, undergraduate, graduate, faculty, staff, and alumni teams will design a concept, build a prototype, and then go on to build a full-scale model during a timed competition at the Iowa State Fair in August. And it will all be done with LEGO® bricks!
