Lego Programming

These two are additional photos taken at the Lego event yesterday.

The lego "brain" is connected to the PC to programme.



I took another snapshot of how the programming interface looks like from another machine. The kid said sure, take a photo of it.



One look, I was in awe that programming is needed for toys. Maybe one of these days, I should try my hand on it!


Can you do any kind of programming? Maybe even setting up a VCR or DVD to record a show on TV! ;-)

Primary School Kids @ NUS playing hi tech Lego.

Yesterday after lunch, colleagues and I, we went over to the premises of the School of Computing, NUS to be 'busybodies'. There's a Lego League Competition going on.

We were quite impressed! When I was in primary school, lego meant ordinary legos. This kids are programming robotic legos!

Did you as a kid also admired your neighbour's invention, just like this kid here?



Oh man... my lego sure did not look like this when I was young! This is programmable and can move according to what was programmed into it!

So... did you play with Lego when you were young?
