“My 9-year-old boy loves LEGO® and builds his own creations all the time out of regular LEGO. I wanted to use LEGO to teach him some mathematical and scientific principles but didn’t know how to go about that. LEGO Education does an amazing job of providing the methods for teaching these important principles. As well, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my daughter, who is 7 years old, could join in on the fun and participate with building the machines too. Now, all three of us are eager to build and learn!!! We've only completed "The Sweeper" machine, but the kids had a blast sweeping away the crumpled paper bits quickly and easily after some alterations to the original machine.”
