design, build, & program your own robot

LEGO Mindstorms NXT

Introduce your child to programming by building a LEGO robot! Our sons and daughters (as young as 7 and old as 13) enjoy the set. Some like building. Others like programming. They all like LEGO!

Our kids have especially enjoyed being in the FIRST LEGO League Challenge each of the last three years. Not only have they learned more about designing robots to accomplish specific tasks, they’ve learned a great deal about teamwork.

This updated Mindstorms set just became available this fall.
Don’t be fooled by a “good deal” on an old set. The new set is well worth the price. You can read about it here, on the LEGO Mindstorms web site.

This is math-mom.com, the website built on our belief that learning is naturally fun. With the right expectation and approach, anyone can enjoy learning. But since each of us is unique, we each must find our own best way to learn. We know that we have found our way when learning is fun.

Here you will find books, products, and ideas that our family has used to make learning fun for each one of us. We hope that it encourages you to find your own way to have the fun of learning.
