Re: Wednesday, May 29, 2002
Doc, I've emailed Niel Bauman about having a fun time for geek kids (and grownups) using LEGO Mindstorms on the cruises. He's sorta interested, but now it's time for some guerilla tactics. Wouldn't you and your little guy enjoy a fun geek bonding experience building LEGO robots? Or maybe pointing at cracks in the Earth is more fun on a rainy day :-) I'm the guy that wrote pbForth for Mindstorms, and I've taught kinds between 10 and 12 years of age how to program their bots using a simple text-based language. I really think that we need to get kids into thinking about this kind of stuff in a fun environment, and these cruises (or corporate bring your kid to work days) might be the ticket.... Cheers, Ralph
