50th Anneversary Lego Celebrations held in Japan

A Lego Superkids competition was held in Tokyo this week and the winners of the contest have been announced.

The theme for the competition was "life fifty years from now". Many children under the age of twelve competed to design suitable entries to meet the theme, but ultimately it was this robotic dog (right) that stole the show.
Kodama, a ten year old boy from Saitama Prefecture (left), designed the dog with a tail that he imagines can plug in and charge the dog, while a red jewel on his colar will light up during charging.


The competition was held to celebrate the 50th anneversary of the Lego company.
