Review: Lifelong Kindergarten: Cultivating Creativity Through Projects, Passion, Peers, and Play I met with Mitch Resnick while visiting the MIT Media Lab in October 2008. This inspiring book relates the development of (and children's creative uses of) Scratch, LEGO MINDSTORMS and LEGO WeDo - all of which originated in the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at MIT. This is STEM education at its very best!

Review: I read this one for a book club at work. The main idea here is that today's world needs creative (not conventional) thinking, which requires different, more creative methods of learning. While there were a lot of good ideas here, plus some real-life stories from people who had success with this way of learning, I did grow weary of hearing about the MIT lab, scratch, and logo after the tenth time or so. The author has clearly devoted his life to this, and that's good, but he lays it on pretty thick. While I'm on board with the concept, I'm not sure how much I can personally use this book and its ideas (I don't have kids and I'm not a teacher) - but there's solid value here for those who can more directly apply this stuff.
