We're back for our 8th semester broadcasting! And during our first episode, we showed an interview with one of the Lego model builders, Eric, at Legoland California. His whole job is building things out of Legos, how is that for a cool job? If you visit Legoland, you will see "Miniland," where they have recreated cities out of Legos in amazing detail.
Eric described how he has to think mathematically every day at work, including determining scales, creating designs and blueprints, and estimating how many Lego bricks to order for a project. He showed us his most recent project: a Lego version of the extraordinary Burj Dubai skyscraper in the United Arab Emeriates which will be finished next year.
The image at the left shows the Lego version with the actual building in the background.
