LEGO® Schools of the Future!
This year, NEW is sponsoring a "Schools of the Future" contest ( with $100 prizes! ).
Instead of having a sleepover, I have spent the last twelve weeks discussing
simple machines ( see the simple machines page in the library at weirdrichard.com ), talking engineering
trivia ( "Who invented the first petrol-driven car?" "What came first, the invention of the telescope or
the discovery of America?" ), defining who engineers are and what they do,
and designing a school of the future using LEGO® elements!

Note: I will not be submitting these as entries, but I am encouraging PCS parents and students
to enter this contest on their own. The purpose of the class is to demonstrate some of the
underlying principles of architecture and engineering.
