Dream Job: Lego Master Model Builder

The beginning of May is when the new Legoland Discovery Center is set to open at Crown Center. We take a look at the competition for the full-time position of master model builder.

The beginning of May is when the new Legoland Discovery Center is set to open at Crown Center. The company has been hiring for Kansas City’s latest attraction.

They decided to have applicants compete against each other for the full-time job of master model builder. The winner of this golden ticket will be responsible for building cool models on site, doing the upkeep on the Miniland which will involve scale down lego versions of Kansas city landmarks and working with kids.

Around  200 people squared off in what the company called the Brick Factor Competition, but it’s a Kansas City Missouri school teacher and Renaissance Festival Performer who’s going to get the full=time gig and coveted title of king of lego…or perhaps the more professional title “lego master model builder.”

And the winner is…Jeremiah Boehr. We leave you this week with a look at the highly competitive world of lego model building.
