Review: The LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Idea Book
LEGO Mindstorms utilize basic machines like gears and levers that can be used in ways that can create machines that work in unique and creative ways.

Review: The LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Activity Book
LEGO robotics are a versatile platform for building interactive creations, but the documentation supplied by LEGO tends to be lacking. When purchasing the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Kit, the user downloads software that gives instructions on how to build and program five different robots, but doesn’t teach how to design unique robots or program them. The LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Activity Book by Daniele Benedettelli fills that need while showing how to build seven unique creations.

Review: LEGO Train Projects
When doing large scale displays with I LUG NY (back when that was a thing), often had large cityscapes and environments with trains running through them.

Review: William Shakespeare’s Get Thee Back to the Future!
Creating mashups is an artform. Taking two existing pieces of art and combining them in new and unique ways to create a new piece of art that is unparalleled. When taking an artwork that is 400 years old and combining it with one that is 30 years old, the result is something as interesting as […]
