Hi all,
I've been contracted to assist in an education class at a local
university helping with a Mindstorms project and was wondering if anyone
had any ideas or tips we could use in this class.
The class is a group of 25 students who are getting certified to teach
ages 3 to 9. The class focuses on using technology to develop
activities the bring students of varying ability levels together in
cooperative activities.
We have two 3-hour blocks in which to use teach. The first was going to
be used as an intro/demo session and then the second is scheduled so the
students can work on their own projects. Does this sould like a good
schedule?
I was going to put together a short powerpoint presentation about the
Mindstorms system and maybe try to show how it's been used in classrooms
before. If you have any photos or video that you would like to donate,
let me know.
We have the Robolab software and six RCXs in addition to a ton of
technic/basic parts.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

| I wrote a book, Creative Projects with LEGO Mindstorms, for exactly this situation. No extra parts beyond the kit are needed for 20-something of the 30 projects. Not to mention it is the only book to talk about ROBOLAB! In the book I recommend (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics.edu)
