Alumni LEGO Challenge

Alumni All-Access | Oct. 25 | 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

Red and White Club

Become the star of the show at the Alumni LEGO Challenge! Join Calgary firefighters and LEGO Masters Season 3 runners-up Stephen and Stephen to build and win.   

Using only the provided LEGO materials, you and a teammate will have 1.5 hrs. to create a football inspired masterpiece. The catch? Much like on the LEGO Masters show, the build will only be revealed right before the challenge begins, and you can surely expect some twists along the way!    

Be sure to also bring your creative and challenging building questions to ask the masters, as Stephen Cassley, BA'07, and Stephen Joo, BSc'97, stop by to offer tips and tricks judging your final results.   

Your ticket price includes competition admission for a team of two, two LEGO kits (based on your chosen difficulty level) and a polybag of LEGO to use as your building materials, refreshments and free parking at the Red and White Club!  

While this event is suitable for ages 4-99, please note that all youth participants must be accompanied by an adult participant to help facilitate the LEGO building process. 

Ticket options:  

Beginner Team (one “team captain” ticket and one “teammate”): $60 

Advanced Team Captain (one “team captain” ticket and one “teammate” ticket): $75  

Your LEGO kit will include one LEGO Creative Brick Box in medium (beginner level, valued at $60) or large (advanced level, valued at $100).
