I have homeschooled my grands for 6 years. I signed up, and no need to lie. I think it's great, and the kids will be thrilled! I'm thankful this is listed here!

It's FREE. Those of you who are on your high horses about how it's "only for educators" have to realize that lego can afford to give out as many kits as they want. They're a huge corporation. Do you lie about being a business? Do you make up phone numbers? If so, don't cast any stones. Don't be so serious...it's a freebie site. Everyone STFU. It’s FREE.

I think it's kind of ironic that someone in the educational field misspelled the word "receive." We Are In An Educational Pickle And Need Your Help! LEGO® Education North America launched the LEGO SmartTM Creativity Contest in January of this year. The contest challenges educators and those employed in the education field to create an activity for their classroom using only the LEGO bricks found in a LEGO Smart Kit. To date we have had phenominal response from members in the education industry and have posted more than 100 activities developed by these contest participants. Recently, however, the contest news got out to large groups of ineligible people and many of them submitted requests for free LEGO Smart Kits. In order to recieve a free LEGO Smart Kit via the LEGO Smart Creativity Contest, you must be a teacher or someone working within the education field (coach, administrator, teacher aide, and so on) and live within the United States. To verify the credentials of those who have recently submitted requests, we are asking everyone to complete this new online form. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and honesty. A limited quantity of LEGO Smart Kits remain, and we appreciate your assistance in making sure these kits arrive in the hands of eligible contestants.

I had no idea Lego even had educational products geared especially for homeschoolers until I followed your link. I also ordered a couple of their teaching resource catalogs. They should give you a kickback, dude! ;) Goob, thanks for the link, I will be sharing it with other homeschooling parents, with proper hat tip, of course.

I signed my mother, who is a teacher, up to receive one so that she can decide about the contest (which her kids should really like). The idea here is simple, and I don't think it is right to game the system when the freebie has clearly stated terms. The freebie is definitely only for educators, and lying is not ok.

Not a phone you can (and do) turn off, but a 24/7 phone number so that the freebie business can call you? If they require a phone number to process the request, do you skip that freebie, even if it is something you'd use/give to somebody who will use it?

I can see the argument that the kit as well is intended for teachers only, especially after looking at the link Kimberly provided.

I homeschool my children so I am a teacher but I am not employed as a teacher. And I agree, lying to receive something free is not okay. So I won't be ordering this freebie but I may send an e-mail to the appropriate source reminding them that homeschool moms are teachers too even if they only have a few students.

I agree with Ingrid in the fact that not every freebie is for everyone. The contest and kit are meant to inspire creativity in the classroom, and give educators a chance at some prize money, while promoting their product as an educational item. Basically, if you want toys for your desk, get a Happy Meal at lunch. That's what I do. :-) http://www.legoeducation.com/forms/activitycontest.asp

The free hats only good for those that like head protection from the sun? No, I didn't think so. To each their own, but I don't think there's anything wrong with a mom getting free legos for her kids.
