 | | 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)

| | | | | 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 (...)

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)
