Lego is used in so many different ways and in many different projects –be it in the field of music, engineering or science or whatever else one can think of.
Lego always finds its way to be either useful or entertaining and sometimes it is used in things that it should not be used for. One example is it being used as a pipe –for those who love to smoke tobacco or other substances. Although this may be one of the darker things that the blocks are utilized for, we still cannot deny how useful Lego bricks are no matter what type of person you are.
Do you remember those uber sexy ladies made out of Lego blocks? Now that is another example of Lego’s versatility. Whether you are creating a wholesome image or a not-so-wholesome one, you can be sure that Lego bricks will always come in handy.
Educators use Lego as well but not only in promoting certain core values but also in engineering and robotics.
For educators who are interested in Lego engineering and the conferences held by Lego Mindstorms educators and experts, you can go to LegoEngineering.com.
Parents can also visit the website and see what else is being offered. Reading updates from LegoEngineering.com is a great way to keep yourself informed about the newest advancements in education. This will also benefit your child or children because you would be able to see what types of extracurricular programs or activities you can enrol them to especially when school is out.
The website also offers podcasts. Title examples are “Robots Telling Stories”
“Transforming Elementary Science” and “Creativity and Design in the 7th Grade”.
Apart from Lego Engineering, Lego bricks are also used for small things inside the home. It could be that pencil case you made for your kids last year or a holder for your kitchen items.
