This brings up a point that I've been mulling over for some time.
Has anyone put together a "How to do a LEGO guest lecture at your local
school"?
I've seen bits and pieces done, and I know the Pitsco-DACTA materials ($$
investment) are right on the mark, but what if you want to cobble together
your own presentation/interactive performance from your personal LEGO
collection and your own strengths/interests i.e. Mindstorm=robotics,
Adventurers/Castle=history, Technic=simple machines, pneumatics, etc.
A question for Kevin: How did your expectations of kid and/or teacher
response (hands on, Q&A's, material covered in time alloted) compare to
actual?
I'd love to be able to do a similar Techinic oriented show & tell with my
son's grade school class (when he gets there).
