What you were doingDario puts his new prosthetic to the test (Picture: IKO) ‘What if kids could ‘build’ their own prosthetics according to their own needs, while having fun?’ That was the simple ambition behind the IKO Creative Prosthetic System. Colombian designer Carlos Torres, who is based at Umeå University in Sweden, wanted to create a prosthetic that would help build disabled childrens’ confidence. So, he employed everyone’s favourite building block: Lego. Children are able to change the gripping attachment on the prosthetic with their own custom-built Lego pieces. ‘IKO is a creative prosthetic system designed for children to explore and empower their creativity in a playful, social and friendly way,’ Torres explains on his website. ‘By making children view their prosthetic as one of their toys, it could help them overcome uncomfortable feelings when interacting with other children,’ he adds.
Instead of the gripping attachment, kids can have a spaceship that fires lasers, or a digger (guaranteed to win the sandpit). Torres travelled to Bogota to test the design on an eight-year-old Colombian boy called Dario (aka ‘his partner in crime’), who had his right arm amputated after suffering a congenital malformation. Dario put the arm through some pretty rigorous testing (read: shot his friend with a laser approximately 5,487 times) and found it to his liking. Now, Torres is planning to bring it to the market. He hopes it will be available by the end of 2016 at the earliest.

It could be the biggest bargain on the property market: a two-storey house that’s being given away for nothing. The only drawback is that this des res is made entirely out of Lego – and you’ll have to find somewhere to put it.Top Gear presenter James May has just built the world’s first full-size Lego house – including a working toilet, hot shower and a very uncomfortable bed – using 3.3million plastic bricks.

May says Legoland reneged on a deal to take it to their theme park in Windsor, Berkshire, after deciding it would be too expensive to move.
Meanwhile, miffed Legoland managers criticised May for building the house without their help.May said: ‘I’m very unhappy about it. I feel as if I’m having my arm twisted into saying “knock it down”.

Legoland has an exclusive licence to use the plastic bricks as a public Lego has also banned May from dismantling the structure and giving away the bricks, which the company donated for his forthcoming BBC show James May’s Toy Stories. ‘It would dilute Lego’s sales – we can only give them to charity,’ May said. May slept in the house on Friday night, on ‘the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in’ – when he also discovered the house was not waterproof. Martin Williams, marketing director of Legoland Windsor, said: ‘We’re disappointed we were not consulted as our model-makers could have advised on building a movable structure. ‘In our opinion, the only way to move the Lego house now is to cut into it, which would compromise the structural integrity and present us with Plastic fantastic: James in the multi-coloured hallway Building blocks: James even used Lego to make kitchen utensils, including a toaster, whisk, bread bin and iron
