  Re: Summer LEGO Building Camp Help
 
Hi Brian, Just have to say what a neat program this is. I like the idea of building by sight and then building "remotely". I teach adults (or at least young adults) and it's often difficult to get them to accept failure as part of the learning (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.edu)
 
  Re: Summer LEGO Building Camp Help
 
(...) Unfortunately, the fee structure this year is a little on the high side: $40. Last year, Jake McKee was able to supply our LUG with an event kit. Unfortunately, this year, Jake did all he could for us but he was unable to help us out with any (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.edu)
 
  Re: Summer LEGO Building Camp Help
 
(...) Wow, that is a really neat program. What kind of fee structure and room requirements do you have? How much LEGO is given to each participant? Andy (19 years ago, 3-Jun-05, to lugnet.edu)
 
  Summer LEGO Building Camp Help

  Re: LEGO in CG classes was: easier parts authoring

The other Lego-related student animations I would have liked to share were computer-animated Lego minifig remakes (...) (19 years ago, 15-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.edu, FTX)
 
  Northeast Region ROBOLAB Conference
 
I don't work for the LEGO Company, but I felt that this announcement should be posted in the official .lego group. -Suz (URL) reposting the announcement of a special event. This conference, at the LEGO Enfield HQ, is a big deal! For those who don't (...)

  LEGO in CG classes was: easier parts authoring
 
(...) could post some of the other things your class has created? One question: The credits list MLCAD and LDraw as applications used in the creation of the video - can you elaborate on this? Did they use LDraw measurements (or actual parts) in the (...) (19 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.edu, FTX)
 
  LEGO Factory Judge Pages Archived?
 
One side benefit to LF (IMO) has been the spotlight pages on the judges. It's fun to read each judge's background, childhood favorites, etc. and then try to see how that reflects in his/her designs. From a teacher's point of view, I also loved the (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.edu, FTX)

  Re: Permission Req'd for Education?
 
(...) I think just an overreation. I know if you ask the publisher, they will typically say, "No!" and inside the book cover it says you cannot reproduce anything, but the fair use doctrine says otherwise. You would have to copy a lot from a book to (...) (20 years ago, 30-Aug-04, to lugnet.edu, FTX)
 
  Re: Permission Req'd for Education?
 
Hi, Thanks so much for the thoughtful and informative response. You basically confirmed what I had suspected - better for me to get permission before I include unauthorized AFOL imagery in my class material. But given the web-savvy most students (...) (20 years ago, 30-Aug-04, to lugnet.edu, FTX)
 
  Re: Permission Req'd for Education?
 
(...) It is always the most polite and least risky thing to do to ask permission to use images that you yourself did not create. However, it is not necessarily unlawful to use them if you don't (in the United States, at least, other countries may (...) (20 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.edu, FTX)  
 
  Re: Motivating CAD students to model LEGO (was prototyping)

One suggestion would be to ask the students to try and model their previous projects using (...)

  Motivating CAD students to model LEGO (was prototyping)

My curiosity has gotten the best of me. What did you use to render the various header images? (I have my suspicions, but they're not quite hi-res enough for me to be sure.) --Travis Cobbs (20 years ago, 19-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.events, lugnet.edu, FTX)
