Hmm. As a former engineer and current computer science major, I have to
say that the HP48 is very necessary. The HP version of Tetris is a
must-have. :-)
More seriously, while I know some people on the list have suggested
elementary/middle school projects based on Legos, is anyone else
developing courses based on Mindstorms at the university/college level?
What kinds of projects, if any, are being considered (or would those of
you not at schools suggest?) Duke Computer Science is considering the
idea, since Legos would allow us mechanically challenged CPS majors to
program robots without worrying too much about the hardware end. The
appearance of legOS and nqcc have been very encouraging from this point
of view, and I was wondering what kind of progress/ideas others have made.
thanks in advance for any feedback-
