The MTA LEGO® Education range 2012 offers great classroom solutions for Robotics as well as a comprehensive Science & Technology range which introduces students to technology concepts in a hands-on, fun way. The Early Years range includes favourites such as LEGO®, DUPLO and LEGO® SOFT. Implement a step-by-step program to teach technological concepts, that can span a child's school career; start with components (gears, levers, pulleys etc), then teach youngsters to design and build functional machines, and end with computer programming and sophisticated simulation using Robots.
