Lego gets man into Singapore university

singapore straits times lego ship.jpgLego, the perfect petrochemical toy, will get you into university, it's official. Singapore's Straits Times has an article in its education supplement today on how a young man built a Lego 1.5m long submersible aircraft carrier, with battery-operated moving parts, and used it for his university application.

His Youtube video of the process earned him a place at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).

The 10,000-piece warship took Mr Teh Jun Hao a month to build, according to this article.

The article struck a chord with the Blog, coming in the same week as a friend had forwarded this article from the UK's Portsmouth News about the Royal Navy launching its own Lego toy Type 45 destroyer.
