TUCSON, Ariz. — At the Udall Recreation Center on the Eastside, tens of thousands of Lego blocks blanketed a semicircle of folding tables.Those blocks were donated by Michael Monka who runs the Lego Master Builder events. He wanted to get kids off screens and into a creative community.
The goal of the competition is to build a working car out of Legos that can make it down a ramp— that's above some of the kids' heads— without exploding into tiny pieces. "I’ve been watching shows about Master building and I was amazed like what they were doing with them," he said."I really wanted to be in a Lego master show and I’ve been working on Legos to practice.”
With summer just a few weeks away, some parents—like Ezra's father, Christopher Grijalva— see challenging, free, indoor activities as important for keeping their kids occupied.
