Discover the thrill of building your own imaginary ship -- with masts, wings, wheels or whatever suits you! Bring one from home or build it on-site with our free-play LEGOs to enter into our contests. Then learn to build STEM-based LEGO models of historic and naval vessels including our Tall Ship of Delaware.
All skills and ages welcome to join the fun thanks to support from the Kenny Family ShopRite Stores and the Kenny Family Foundation. See contest guidelines below.
Location: Kalmar Nyckel Foundation/Copeland Maritime Center, 1124 East 7th Street, Wilmington, DE 19801
Learn to build LEGO replicas of historic and naval ships using STEM-based design plans including
Kalmar Nyckel,
USS
Gettysburg,
CSS
Virginia,
USS Monitor and many more. Shipbuilding kits are organized by skill level so that all ages can participate. Build a ship, then return the kit and move to another station as you wish.
Let your imagination run wild as you create your own model ship. As in past years, participants can build their LEGO ships at the event or make them at home for our two brick building contests.
LEGO ships will be judged by age group and winners will be announced at the end of the day. Prizes will be awarded on March 2nd.
Please help us keep everyone healthy. Please stay home if you or your family members are sick.
