10 year-old boy earns $10,000 for a 7-feet Toy Roller Coaster

A 10 year boy, Ian Culhane won $10,000 for his 'Toy Roller Coaster,' which was on display atToys 'R' Us store in Times Square. The seven-foot-tall toy roller coaster consists of 6,000 plastic parts. He started with his project last summer with required parts out of his collection of total 15,000. It was not a spontaneous work, but is the result of his long relation with plastic parts. Thousand of children between the ages 6 to 12, who came with the similar hopes, with their projects to compete, witnessed him collecting the prize from the president of K'NEX Brands, a building toy company in Hatfield, Pa. According to his parents he had a great interest in playing with plastic parts since he was four. Although, he couldn't spent anything out of this big prize, as it's a college property, but received $100 from his delighted father to spend it at a toy store. Great job Ian, we sure have a great engineer in the making in you. Via: Apnews
