Title: Robotics for kids
Post by: igorcb on July 14, 2010, 01:40:57 PM

I'm a software Enginieer, I live in Bolivia.

Most of time I design and develop software.

I have a 7 years old son that wants to be a robotics enginieer

How can I help him to start learning robotics?

Thanks on advance for your answers

Or maybe you could give him a kit, like LEGO Mindstorms?

With some guidance it can be very educational.
