Beyond Lego Mindstorms: Analytical and Experimental Minds

Lego Mindstorms is a robotic tool which perfectly safe to use in the educational environment. Even children and teenager can touch and program it without a fear about the electricity. Because of this, we develop the use of Lego Mindstorms robotic tool to arouse analytical and experimental minds of the students. In this paper we presented the important of thinking and finding ideas and then implementing it to solve the problem given. In fact, there are many things for students to do. Students have to test and change their not-worked solution many times before they find the worked solution and reach the goal. These are what required in constructivist learning and constructionist educational philosophy which is very important and absolutely have a big and positive impact in motivating students to learn and explore the world surrounds them.
