If there’ s one certain toy every engineer as a child loved to play with, I’ ll bet it’ s building things using LEGO bricks.
If there’ s one certain toy every engineer as a child loved to play with, I’ ll bet it’ s building things using LEGO bricks. When we play with LEGO, anything we plan to build are limited only by our imaginations. From a rocket ship to a bulldozer, from a simple robot to a skyscraper. While, our creations as children weren’ t able to really do much, we were content with the simple joys of being able to create our first designs as young engineers. Now, we would like to show you some awesome creations made from our once cherished toys. These creations will bring you back to your childhood days and show you that it’ s possible to create almost anything if you just put your mind into it.
