One way to get more students excited to learn is through asking them to solve an engineering problem. I will show how this has worked successfully in many different learning environments and discuss some of the difficulties and benefits of open-ended problem solving in the classroom.

Hi Chris,

I really enjoyed your presentation and would love to show some of those Lego NXT robots that the kids designed to move accross the floor-the different ways they got there. They were very cool. Do you have any of those movies available on a blog or website?
I have emailed Sandra Googan to help me get the First Lego league happening at my school-I hope!
Cheers,
Kate Tyrwhitt
