A 10-year-old boy named Brynjar Karl Bigisson from Iceland amazed people by building a massive 26-foot Titanic model out of LEGO blocks. His passion for ships and the story of this project has inspired many.
Brynjar lives with autism, which made making friends difficult but gave him a powerful focus on his interests. He loved learning about ships, especially the Titanic, and wanted to recreate it using LEGO.
To bring his dream to life, Brynjar had help from family. His grandfather turned the ship’s original blueprints into detailed plans for LEGO building, and his mother raised funds online to buy all the necessary LEGO bricks.
Every day after school for almost a year, Brynjar spent hours working on the project. The finished model impressed everyone, not only with its size but with the boy’s dedication and creativity.
Brynjar believes following your passion with support helps build strength and confidence. He shared this message in a TED talk, encouraging others—especially children with autism—to trust themselves and keep going. His LEGO Titanic stands as proof that with patience and love, great things can happen.
