Boy Won $10,000 for Building Toy Roller Coaster

By Alex in Baby & Kids, Toys on Dec 10, 2007 at 4:56 am

Aspiring engineer (and ten-year-old boy) Ian Culhane won $10,000 for designing a 7-foot-tall toy roller coaster using K’NEX parts:

Ian began the project last summer, using 6,000 plastic parts from his collection of 15,000 to assemble the roller coaster, which runs through the body of a dragon.

    And to think that I thought being able to make a bus out of K’nex was cool.

    Not to be tooooooo awful mean, but does that kid look like he gets his ass kicked every day at school or what?

    //never mind, with that haircut and the name Ian, we all know the answer is yes.
