bethben Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I really think my son has an engineer brain and I would like to encourage that. Has anyone done the simple and powered machines set? I know it's expensive, but I could probably rent it out after I'm done with it or re-sell it easily. I just want to make sure it would encourage scientific discovery and learning about engineering. Was it worth the cost? Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 can you provide a link? I have several LEGO ED kits but the names have changed since I bought mine. Where they worth the cost? Well that's debatable lol. LEGOS are well just expensive. Where they worth it? I'd say yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethben Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Here's where I found some actual worksheets that would be used and [/url]here are the outrageous prices that I'm wondering if they are worth it. There do seem to be some nice concepts taught with my son's obsession. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yes that's the I have. sadly, the prices were cheaper when I purchased several years ago. There is a place that uses this to teach a class. The class is $275 and you don't even get to keep the kit! I'm a sucker for LEGOs. If the money won't take food off your table and your DC likes LEGOs and engineering, I'd say go for it. I think you could sell it for only slightly less than what you paid for it. You definitely need the worksheets to get all of the science out of the kit unless you're an engineer.
