[Yr7-10it] robots

[Daniel Stanley]

I use Mindstorms and the Robolab software with my Year9 Programming
class.  

Coupled with Gamemaker, the kids gain useful skills in problem solving,
logical processes and programming basics. Also it is just great fun
building things with the Lego.

As both of these programs are icon based, they are a good introduction
to this concept.

Or for maths in particular?
