Dear Laura:

Your posting of people's suggestions for LEGO Logo projects inspired me to
go find an old workshop handout I created in 1989. I'm retyping it here
since I have no idea where the file is.

25 Things to Do with LEGO TC logo

Plan and construct a "city of the future"
Construct and give behaviors to a new LEGO animal
Construct and choreograph a LEGO ballerina
Construct and program a LEGO athlete
Construct and program a robot to do a job you disklike doing
Construct and program a LEGO TC logo Supermarket scanner
Construct a LEGO TC logo factory
Construct a LEGO musical instrument or play a musical instrument (like a
xylophone or drum) with LEGO TC logo
Construct and program a machine to send Morse Code
Build a better LEGO mousetrap
Have a LEGO TC logo Truck and Tractor Pull
Design, construct and program a kinetic sculpture made with LEGO
Invent a new type of vehicle
Construct a machine for sorting and routing luggage at an airport (like
the ones at Denver Airport that don't work - I've had kids build working
models with LEGO!)

Design, construct and program a house of the future
Monitor the behavior of a gerbil or hamster with LEGO TC logo
Construct and program a machine for walking a dog
Create a LEGO TC logo robot that will pour you a drink
Invent a LEGO vending machine
Build and program a LEGO slot machine or roulette wheel
Construct a LEGO toll collector
Build and program a LEGO clock
Build and program a LEGO fax machine (I did this in 1990 and LEGO stole it)
Control a science experiment with LEGO TC logo
Invent something never thought of before (like a machine to drive a
teacher crazy!)

Think of another 25 things to do with LEGO and Logo!!

Hope this is useful to you and your kids. Did I earn a week in Maine with
Seymour?
