[Yr7-10it] robots

Tue Apr 8 09:31:52 EST 2008

At Strathmore Secondary College we developed a Math, Science and Technology
unit using Lego NXT stuff. In 2006 I received funding through Innovations
and Excellence to purchase some kits. Kids really enjoyed it. The NXT
programming is very intuitive and kids largely teach themselves. At present
we are working with VSSEC and the autonomous systems dept from the
University of Sydney to further develop the units. I can send you some
material, still in draft form, if you wish.

Regards,

Marcel

Has anyone gone down this path;

Or for maths in particular?
