CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Those who attended the final day of the Cambridge Science Festival Sunday could take part in a special LEGO challenge.
Bricks for the Blind, a Boston-based non-profit creating text-based LEGO instructions for blind people, hosted NeuroBlink: A Blind Building Battle.

The challenge gave a blindfolded person 10 minutes to build a LEGO go-kart, while a partner read out instructions on how to do it. The team who built their karts the fastest or got the farthest would win free LEGO sets.
"These instructions, our instructions, are available for over 160 LEGO sets," Bricks for the Blind founder Matthew Shifrin told WBZ NewsRadio. "They’re all free on our website, and if people are interested in writing instructions, they can contact us on the Bricks for the Blind site."

According to Shifrin, the challenge is designed to get people thinking about the world from a different perspective.
"We want to spread the word and have people thinking differently about their brains," Shifrin said.
