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.”

One of just six certified professionals in the world, and the only Canadian, Sather spent the weekend in Halifax building an enormous Lego Sphinx. There’s an ongoing contest to guess how many blocks were used, but the Sphinx’s head weighs about 200-pounds.
