Thanks to everyone that helped me answering in this thread (and obviously thanks to Marko that opened it).
Eli you answered to my question very well. The analysis of the property of an object or a material is fundamental for its use. If LSP could help the cooperation, confrontation and discussion about properties and not only business strategies,…[Read more]

Hi Mattia,
I’m sure you could use the methodology for exploring the qualities or attributes required for a new umbrella or discussing the principles that an umbrella should respect: is tensile strength more important than impermeability or ultraviolet protection?
What sort of people use umbrellas?
How do they use them?
When do they use them?
Do…[Read more]

Hello everybody.
I’am Mattia.
As Marko suggested, it would be useful to give a deeper explaination of my case.
I am a Material Scientist and my job is the researcher in various projects that verge on materials development and charaterization for various applications.
I’ll now make an example:
Let’s make that my team and I brain-storm about new…[Read more]

I’ve studied environmental science, but I think it really depends which area of science.

My personal opinion is that: in e.science LSP can be useful for developing measurement strategy or research strategy, or to “model” the possible outcomes. Sadly I have never seen a e.research where LSP was used.

Hi Marko,
I think you’ll find a few cases of research in the social sciences (e.g. the work done by David Gauntlett, Lorenzo Cantoni, etc.)

I can’t really see how it would work in the natural sciences, because it requires people.
All the best,
Eli

@Eli: ah, ok, i get it now :) I’m quite sure you can use the sets multiple times if u want. There are only rules about the name and logo (beside LSP training docs/rules), I couldn’t find any other legal doc on TLG/LSP sites. To be honest I don’t understand why was it obligatory before to buy new sets every time.…[Read more]

@Balint: I was just giving the “official” answer. :-) If that has changed since the introduction of Open Source, it’s news to me. The LEGO Group certainly has written to me informing that I can now re-use bricks with my clients. Doesn’t mean I don’t, but…

It’s a bit like asking “what are your techniques for avoiding speed traps, when you’re driving?”

@Jan: I have similar problems time to time. It also depends on the type of workshop you are facilitating and the sets you are using. So far my solutions:
1. sorting head: http://www.target.com/p/lego-sort-and-store-storage-bin-head/-/A-13718711
Collect left over bricks, sort out at home.

2. plastic bag + table: I always ask participants not to…[Read more]

Hi Jan,

I would imagine there are as many answers to your question as there are to the question “How long is a piece of string”. However, there can only be one official answer and that is that each customer should purchase new material for each workshop. If you do multiple workshops with the same customer, the customer can spend the time sorting…[Read more]
