Boy with autism uses 56,000 LEGOs to build world’s biggest Titanic replica
Achieving goals can be both thrilling and daunting, but for 10-year-old Brynjar Karl Bigisson from Iceland, his dream was to build the world’s largest Titanic replica out of LEGOs.
Obsessed with ships, especially the Titanic, Brynjar spent hours researching and decided to recreate it. Living with autism, LEGOs became his creative outlet, helping him focus and develop his imagination. “LEGO bricks became my best friends,” he shared.
With help from his grandfather, who created instructions based on Titanic blueprints, and his mom, who set up a crowdfunding page, Brynjar spent 11 months working 3-4 hours daily to complete the astonishing 26-foot-long model.
This journey taught Brynjar valuable lessons about perseverance, teamwork, and self-belief. He shared these insights in a TED Talk, emphasizing the importance of believing in yourself, building a strong support system, and never giving up. Brynjar’s story inspires others to pursue their dreams.
