Dear Leanna, and Alexandra,

Thanks for this @LEGO_Education event - https://reg.abcsignup.com/reg/event_page.aspx?ek=0044-0016-bad2445f0f3a4d9caf5a7b45ee4e031b& nice to meet you, Leanna, online at the Scratch Meetup SF recently - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qH8KDdRlPvTww0fgCnNSFTbMulgsYx_LdWFYGBUAoyY/edit?usp=sharing. And thanks too for your posting, Alexandra - https://twitter.com/vlachakisalex/status/1264250814605987840?s=20. It looks like this 6/4 meeting @ 2PM CDT requires an Illinois county sign-in, which I don't have. I would bring my LEGO bricks re an #ActualVirtual #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego even! Workarounds? Other ways to join this event? Thanks!

Regards, Scott

There's nothing in "District" to pick ... a check mark shows up when I click on its down arrow on the side, but the  "District" field doesn't work.  So at this point, I can't register.

Suggestions?

Hi Scott, I'm adding Brian as I see what you mean. Nothing comes up for district when you chose Non-IL, and you get stuck.

Brian, can you help us?

In the meantime, Scott, feel free to choose IL, Cook County. That’s my area. I'll make a note that you are from another state.

Sorry for the trouble, Scott.

Hi Brian,

Looks like this 6/4 meeting @ 2PM CDT requires an Illinois county sign-in - https://reg.abcsignup.com/s_reg/reg_registration_maintenance.aspx?na=1 - which I don't have. Would bring my LEGO bricks re #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego ! Workarounds? Other ways to join this event? Thanks!

I found under "County" Non-Illinois, but then under "District" the 'other' option isn't available. Suggestions?

There's nothing in "District" to pick ... a check mark shows up when I click on its down arrow on the side, but the  "District" field doesn't work.  So at this point, I can't register.

Alexandra, there are a bunch of required fields in today's registration form, so if I were to try an Illinois county, it would conflict with the CA address.

Thanks, Scott

If I can access the Zoom video conference, I'll have my Lego WeDo 2.0 robotics' kit, but probably not configured with the Scratch programming language!

Brian, Alexandra, Leanna,

You can see the beginnings of learning 'machine learning' with Lego robotics here (WeDo 2.0 and with this - - -  1999 competition) in this blog entry -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/flying-and-gliding-animals-this-is-next.html - and potentially with Google Research Football machine learning.

See you soon,
Scott

Wonderful and thank you, Leanna and All,

I learned some new Lego language.

A realistic virtual earth for Lego ... from Lego Duplo bricks - and the creative computing projects you shared - to Lego machine learning with the WeDo 2.0 special Lego Robotics' kit (maybe with 2 smart hubs, etc) and in Google Research Football etc. - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/flying-and-gliding-animals-this-is-next.html - are a lot of virtual world dots to connect, but would open up vast learning horizons (in so many countries and languages even, and re World Univ & Sch).

Am interested in building a best STEM CC-4 OCW-centric WUaS curriculum for Lego Robotics for WUaS College level Engineering majors, potentially taking courses on the edX platform in addition to the one best STEM CC-4 OCW Lego resource - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/- as well as curriculum for something like IB high school science majors. Please keep your ears open if you learn of people creating this. (Am reading Karen Brennan's Twitter feed - https://twitter.com/karen_brennan - and re Creative Computing with Scratch programming in these regards, but am not seeing much about Lego Robotics with Scratch out of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, which is a direction WUaS is heading in for major online universities in all ~200 countries' official languages! ). Thank you!

I appreciated your coding progression slide - about the 6th to last - in these regards too. Very nice to meet you too, Alex, Brian and Leanna!

Alex, Brian, Leanna,

Thanks so much for your help yesterday, and for your great presentation, Leanna. Am wondering if we could, hypothetically, add your presentation to an emergent #RealisticVirtualEarthforLego with a #FilmTo3D App (and into something like Google Poly, which is a library of virtual objects, - so each Lego DUPLO brick, and standard brick, a Google Poly object)? (& also re a #RealisticVirtualEarthforRobotics)

Regards, Scott

Leanna, it's a very small world: my mother was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH, and I went backpacking in WV (Dolly Sods) a number of times in high school :)

Hi Scott,

It is nice to meet you and thank you for your resources. Are you a programmer? What state are you based out of?

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alexandra,

It is nice to meet you as well. I code a little HTML and Scratch. Online best STEM CC-4 OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch is based out of California.

Hi Alexandra,

Thanks so much for your email.

World Univ & Sch is seeking to develop 'Home Robotics' - potentially with Lego Robotics' kits - where WUaS would send Lego kits to matriculated WUaS students, in an 'engineering' major (or with a high school 'science' focus), in their homes in all ~200 countries - with courses emerging from something like this best STEM CC-4 OCW course - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/ - into something like edX, and initially at the high school and undergraduate levels (and also with Scratch language programming). The Lego robotics' kits would initially include WeDo 2.0, Spike Prime, Mindstorms EV3 / Mindstreams, etc.). This would be for students learning machine learning eventually as well. WUaS has an #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital focus, and potentially in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics too (e.g. with - - - 's educational version of Minecraft / Brick Street View in Google Street View, where Brick here refers to a Lego brick). While WUaS is seeking to matriculate our 2nd undergraduate class online this autumn, and at present for just a few prospective undergraduate students (in 6 majors), WUaS would eventually seek to have online undergraduate classes of possibly 2,000 students, first in English, and then in each of all ~200 countries' official / main languages (since Scratch programming is in these languages too). So in these online (licensing and accrediting) high school and college contexts, in what ways could WUaS let students get such Lego Robotics' kits? Could WUaS make these available in a WUaS online robotics' store, for example? What would you suggest in exploring these ideas further? And how might WUaS best make Lego Robotics' kits be available to our undergraduate Engineering majors beginning this autumn, please?

Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you further about some of these ideas.

Best, Scott
