Yes, I agree with you, and we did that for 5 years. That's why he wants to learn how to build "real robots" now. His words, not mine. Basically he wants to lear

Yes, I agree with you, and we did that for 5 years. That's why he wants to learn how to build "real robots" now. His words, not mine. Basically he wants to learn how to make the cardboard and duct tape follow his commands. He's fascinated by the Mars Rover (and space in general) and wants to know how it all works. I'm trying to teach him as gently as possible while still keeping the interest up. We'll probably build some cool things together that are over his head just for the wow factor, but I want to give him things he can accomplish too while we explore the fundamentals of math, physics, electricity, tools, and machines.
