I looked online to see if Lego has education resources and discovered that it’s education partner is Tufts University. That’s nearby. I also know Katie Juelich who was a student at Tufts and worked on Lego Education there. I’m going to see if I can talk to somebody there for aid in doing this afterschool program (even if it’s just direction). I also need to talk to Ed Harrow who did a robotics program at Touchstone and at Grafton, MA, elementary schools with robotics kits. (He didn’t use Mindstorm, so there wasn’t much programming, but there was a lot of engineering discussion.) So, much to do…
