- jacobolus 8y agoSeems relevant. The analogy would be following the Lego set instructions vs. self-directed free play with a few limited pieces is like traditional math class vs. learning math via playing with the Logo turtle. Also the “Lego Mindstorms” product was a collaborative effort with the MIT media lab, and is named after Papert’s book.
- eternalban 8y agoHowever Lego analogy breaks down when we progress to stage II (image making) and III (theorizing).
