My kids took part in the First Lego League robotics competition for this first time this year and it was one of the greatest things ever. For those that do not know, it is a competition where teams build Lego robots to navigate around a board and solve different challenges. The teams also do a project (complete with a market survey, product design, testing, and then a product pitch) as part of the competition. The Lego robots are easy to build and fun to play with. The default visual programming language is pretty limited, but it is very easy to get started with.
