We are extending the child's construction kit, building computational
power directly into LEGO bricks. Children are using these Programmable
Bricks to build everything from robotic creatures to interactive kinetic
sculptures, and in the process, learning about engineering and design. We
are currently developing a family of Programmable Bricks, known as
Crickets, that are especially well-suited for rapid prototyping of
computerized constructions. The LEGO company now sells a product (part of
its Mindstorms product line) based on our Programmable Brick research.
