Elizabeth thanks for telling me about Lego Mindstorm! Wow! Looks kind
of scary to me since I'm a complete klutz when it comes to legos, but I
think my boys would love it.
They are wild about legos. I am just so impressed with their creativity
with those things...probably because I cant seem to do it. :)
The boys even decided to share a room to sleep in so the other room
could be their lego room. There are legos everywhere in that room, but
they don't have to pick them up.
I have also been thinking about what kind of careers a person with this
kind of inventive, creative talent moves towards. Not that my kids are
even close to thinking about it, but it is nice to have books and maybe
meet people with this kind of talent that use it in their work.
Any ideas on that?
I'm going to have to go look at the MIT site.... maybe there is
something interesting there.
Thanks,
Ann

Engineering, art, law, mechanics--anything that involves design and patterns
and procedures.

Of my adult friends I know played with Lego and still do, there are two
engineers (working with computers), a systems analyst, a lawyer and a
graphics designer.

I think you should just let them play with Lego without an uber-structure or
mom-designed tie-ins to anything or anyone. "Lessons" for Lego seems to me,
too, to be a potential damper on their joy.
