Lego architects tackle the Secret of the Pharaohs
Metro
A crowd of excited children — and more than a few adults — gathered at the Discovery Centre in Halifax yesterday to see the completion of a 50-hour Lego project.
“All ages get excited about it,” said Lego Certified Professional, Robin Sather, 43. “We all have Lego in our past somewhere. In some way it ties into everyone’s experience.”
