Winner Announcement
The winners have been chosen! Thank you for participating and making this challenge great.
This phase is currently closed to further activity.
Imagine if you could talk to your LEGO® models and get them to do fun stuff with you, or for you. In this contest, we challenge you to come up with creative and innovative ideas on how the LEGO brick and voice technology could be combined in fun ways. Maybe you’d like to have a LEGO remote control car that you control with your voice or a LEGO house where you control the lights by talking to it? We want you to think out of the box, into the future, and describe and visualize your idea with text and drawing.
