Building Empathy

---

For those who could swear that their car had to have been built late on a Friday afternoon or bought a pure lemon, try building an 8070 over a weekend. The latest supercar from Lego Group's Technic division includes a free-floating differential, a visible 8-cylinder engine with working pistons tied into the transmission, double wishbone suspension components, and various power goodies.

Putting one of these together without having many spare pieces lying around once the job is done is an excellent accomplishment. It's also a great empathy-building exercise to help us realize, even if on a much smaller scale, some of what a day is like for those putting together the things that move us daily. A special thanks goes out to you, the builders of the world.
