I have delivered a session across three campus – a remote individual, a local class, and a remote class. We pre-mailed out the LSP kits to the individuals (starter kits in this case, so I got them back at the end), but you could, if budget, lead time and mail service permit, send out window exploration sets as non-returnables.

To add to the…[Read more]

Hi Yla,
I was asked the same question for a remote customer seminar , even though one tends to think that It cannot be done , I believe it CAN be done, obviously there are some limitations to the live session.

In terms of software, any webinar or virtual meetings software will do. I have mostly used webex, but outside the corporate world, in…[Read more]

Thank You Stephen for your response. I really like question pair instead of single question. Would like to explore more on that.

I should put up a picture of my office. The entire back wall is boxes of lego boxes. I’ve been using the Adafruit (Large Tin With Clear Top Window) as my cases for individual window kits, and found they stack really well into a travel luggage organiser in blocks of 32 – instant 8 teams of 4 options. I also have the sorter sheet over on…[Read more]

Thank you Stephen,
I guess having enough bricks is always the big question when planning activities.
I cannot forsee myself carrying 100 seperate Starter kit at an event, even with support of a helper, with the storage planning it all becomes very complicated. I will have to think of some condition to interest the client to invest and keep the…[Read more]

Thanks Stephen for your response.
What sort of workshops do you run using Exploration bag? Dont you require identity kit for the workshop?

Can you elaborate on a 15 brick exercise, with 5 compulsory bricks, (Set A or Set B), and free choice after that exercises.

I generally use tower build for skill building.

I always start with one kit per person. I run a couple of preset routines in my workshop where everyone having the same pieces is super useful for the experience. For example, a 15 brick exercise, with 5 compulsory bricks, (Set A or Set B), and free choice after that – everyone has a similar starting point for their builds, and a wildly…[Read more]

Stephen,
Would you mind specifying for me, if you have a room of 100 person, do you carry 100 Exploration kits or do you use 1kit per group of 4? Will you also use Starter kit. How many for 100 person please ? Your precision will be much appreciated, as I’m planning an up coming event that could have between 80 to 100 person.

I use it quite extensively as a many-users, many-teams kit, where I have a large audience and I want to ensure that everyone in the room has access to the same hardware. It’s a much smaller package – 49 pieces per unit, and quite different from the Starter kit. I do have the inventory of both kits available on my mecabricks page if you’re…[Read more]

I would like to be added as well – storz@innovationchaos.com
Thanks!

I would suggest framing the approach from the challenges they face (Build a model for a most common challenge), then go towards building a solution for you challenge (connecting the two individual models into a common one), then, per team/table, ask them to build a shared model out of the individual solutions…I am thinking that the solutions…[Read more]
