“Do you know this story?”

Tell me about a time when a slow character wins in the end.

What story teaches that bragging doesn’t help you succeed.

What story warns us not to lie over and over.

Which fable shows that working hard now helps later.

World Book Day was a good reminder of what we are missing by moving away from Textbooks and into Chromebooks for education. We seem to be missing a Canon of texts that unites readers everywhere.

[Preston Spratt @PrestonSpratt]

Once upon a time, readers across the nation grew up with the same fables, myths, adventures, and moral touchstones. Now every student gets a different algorithm, a different feed, and different "excerpts" catered to their reading level.

This LEGO robot follows a path using ONE motor and ONE color sensor.

It’s inspired by Jesse Jackson and peaceful marches for justice—where progress wasn’t always straight, but persistence mattered.

Check it out!

@LEGO_Education you just killed the Spike Web App in the middle of the @firstlegoleague season!? What is the new web address for the Online Spike App?

Previously, it was https://t.co/sT5TYyRIZq

I don't want to download the App, it does not work anywhere near as well.

What do dancing LEGO robots and archaeology have in common? Quite a lot! They break down the 5 steps of the archaeological process—all in under a minute: https://t.co/UAc7JDpgso

Want to play modern-day Indiana Jones? Tell me which step you'd try first!

Cute bunnies in Florida face a big problem: invasive Burmese pythons.

Check out our full video to see how these adorable rabbits inspired a LEGO Spike robot: https://t.co/0OYlUtmD3i

The field of robotics is booming. Automation, coding, and engineering are all growing at rapid rates.

This week, our learners are designing a robot rabbit to help the Florida Everglades tackle its python problem. 95% of mammals have been eliminated.

We’re testing our #FLL bots to prepare for the new season. Before the missions ship, we'll see what works, what doesn't, and how to improve.

These #LEGO Robots promote critical thinking and computer science skills with challenges to engage students.
