I enjoy reading some of the technical letters but all of it is way over my
head. I joined this list to get more information on building and programming
with Mindstorms with the purchased software and without tearing my RCX apart.
I keep waiting for that thread of conversation to start but since it hasn't
I'll give it a shot.

I teach gifted technology and computers. My school does not have the budget
for Robolab so I purchased Mindstorms myself hoping that I could use it in the
classroom and my students would be so excited that I could convince my
principal or the PTA that Robolab would be a good purchase.
My students wrote a webpage about our first after school workshop. It is very
rudimentary compared to all of your technical posts. The children had a ball
and learned quite a deal.

Is anyone else out there using Mindstorms to teach children building and
programing skills? Do you have any ideas you would like to share?
