Nationwide LEGO Wind Turbine Competition!
August 10th, 2007 by RoscoHead
Engineers Without Borders Australia (EWB) is building LEGO wind turbines in capital cities across the nation for Engineering Week!
Event details
The public’s imagination will be captured by participating in the construction of over 3,500 LEGO bricks to form a fully functioning three-metre tall wind turbine!
For a gold coin donation, members of the public will add LEGO bricks to the construction.
The wind turbines will be constructed simultaneously in popular public spaces across the nation on Friday August 24th:
- Brisbane: Queen St Mall
- Canberra: Garema Place, Civic
- Melbourne: Federation Square
- Melbourne: Monash University, Clayton campus
- Adelaide: Rundle Mall
- Perth: QV1 building
- … And a week earlier (August 16-19) in Sydney at Customs House in the city
Live video footage of the progress in each city will be broadcast at each site, setting up an inter-city rivalry to see who can complete their LEGO wind turbine first!
