There's sure a lot of interest from the kids, but I think that's
probably true anywhere. It just takes an interested adult or two to give
them a forum or a way of showing off what they can do. The amount of
enthusiasm from the kids surprised even me, but it really blew away the
other adults.

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 ($$

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).

(...) I have been mulling this over, too. I am a member of the science support commitee of the parent's organization at my son's school (K-8, ages 6-14 for non-USA). I showed some of the committee members some technic and got volunteered to do a (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.dacta, lugnet.edu, lugnet.general)
