“LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education Software lets students get right into programming with little initial instruction. After the students can go forward, go backward, and do some kind of turn, I can unleash them into all kinds of projects. Then I can work in small groups and teach them more as they progress in their skills and understanding. Using this software lets student pursue knowledge at their own comfort level. I have some students who want to use logic blocks and complex programs and others who prefer to work with the mechanical design and keep their programs simple with loops and blocks. It is touchable, approachable, and infinitely adaptable to meet students’ visionary needs.”
