LEGO Cylindrical Cam (How to Make) How Lego Is Constructing the Next Generation of Engineers. Let Children’s Play (with Technology) Be Their Work in Education. The importance of play as part of a child’s development has been the focus of educational specialists and research for decades.
Piaget and Montessori have emphasized that a child’s play is his or her work. Play activities are essential to healthy development for children and adolescents. Research shows that 75% of brain development occurs after birth. The activities engaged in by children both stimulate and influence the pattern of the connections made between the nerve cells. This process influences the development of fine and gross motor skills, language, socialization, personal awareness, emotional well-being, creativity, problem solving and learning ability.

Video Description. 10 Movie Characters and Scenes Built Out of Legos. This diorama looks deceptively simple, but the recreated rocky scene of the epic sword fight between Inigo Montoya and the Man in Black is actually fairly complex.
The minifigures for the characters are quite believable. Wall-E is a popular character with Lego aficionados, but this one manages to capture the robot’s personality. This scene is not as large as some of the others, but it’s very detailed, from the smoke coming out of the volcano to the countless tiny aquamarine-colored Lego pieces that look like water. REVIEW: Hands on with LEGO StoryStarter. One of my fourth grade students displays genius tendencies when it comes to building and tinkering but struggles with engagement during literacy activities.
He describes the problem as having too many ideas in his head and not being able to get them out. Pretty self aware for a nine-year-old! So when I mentioned to him that I was going to be meeting with the President of Lego Education at SXSWedu, his eyes lit up. I could tell he was imagining this glowing, Wizard of Oz-style man sitting in a room somewhere building the Legos he dreams of all day in school. Initially when Lego Education reached out, I told them I was not interested in hearing about Legos, but that I wanted a hands-on demo.
Lego Education has a new product called StoryStarter, which is essentially a tool for teaching literacy and writing sequences. There is also a software program where students can upload photos of their creations and add text, but at first glance it didn’t seem like enough. Most Insane Lego Machine Ever. Real People in LEGO. Photograph by Ochre Jelly. Depicting a person we all recognize takes talent when you use a pencil or paintbrush. Doing it with LEGO blocks takes a particular kind of talent because of the restrictions inherent in the medium. I am no art critic, just an art fan. Neither am I a LEGO expert -in fact, I have never owned a set of LEGO bricks! LEGO NXT.
