@jeberly @grantfwilkinson1 scratch comes out of the MIT media lab that invented Mindstorms with Lego in 1998. So it's fair to say mindstorms -> scratch -> osmo https://www.media.mit.edu/sponso...
It's like my old Lego Mindstorms is back! It's how I got into programming originally. Makes me want to play with Lego again. Wait, so how is this different?
@kleerkoat although the button at the top says "more info" it should say "same info but 2 or 3 more images" 🙃
Is this for kids or adults? Seems a little too elaborate. But maybe I'm overthinking it. Certainly very cool to see this from Lego
When I was a kid, LEGO Mindstorms was essentially my introduction to programming logic. I was hooked! Hours and hours of learning, disguised as fun. I just love the way Lego supports creative confidence-building and tinkering.
That could be a really good introduction for kids to programming. LEGO Mindstorms is really good too but maybe needed to be re-invented.
@lightedstar this post here doesn't do it justice, they have way more diverse kids playing with it on the actual product page https://www.lego.com/en-us/boost...
