LEGO K12 Outreach with Linda Hamilton

Be Positive
Be Constructive
LEGO Projects with Linda Hamilton

Joy of making your own toys - old time toys to computer

Notes for teachers
Mixed ages Mixed materials LEGO and DUPLO elements
Teachers learn with students

LEGO materials are like pencils in that they are tools.
Materials with which anything can be made -
so emphasize Be Positive
Be Constructive

What can be made from LEGO materials is much like the idea of theme and variation in music.
Mostly I have ideas from others- whether it be writers or teachers or kids.
