Geek Crafts: Lego prosthetic leg

When coworkers challenged Lego fan and amputee Christina Stephens to make a prosthetic leg out of Lego bricks, Stephens responded with enthusiasm. She condensed a two-hour Lego build into a five-minute video and posted it to her YouTube account. This is so great!

Stephens says that although the prosthetic is fully functional, it tends to snap apart after a few steps. She is working on a Lego Leg 2.0 which will have a movable ankle. Can't wait to see it!
