Lego Workshop!
Earlier this year I visited the Innovation Studio Workshop at Thinktank Birmingham.
After undertaking some warm up games we went on to simple coding followed by more complicated routes. We used Lego Mindstorms EV3 to code a route which would complete an assault course.
It is the first crossover between a children's toy and automated technology and has lots of potential to better help children understand modern technology and engineering to complete real life tasks.
This has inspired me to consider brick-based invention courses that deal with current issues of sustainability (lowering the use of plastics) and the melting of Antarctica due to climate change.

Land of the Flying Cars!
Here is an array of flying cars with wheels for when the altitude is just too much!
Here is a flying flowerbed car driven by Batgirl, including a leafy colour scheme.
Here is a pig overlooking the flying car tournament!
Ultimate Final Challenge: The Battle for Slushtopia
The bad guy world- (left side of portal) was baron, nothing but a few ancient ruins and one, singular cobweb. There was a Big Battle on Slushtopia!
The Creatos (picture above) destroyed the bad man, he consumed his drumstick eyebrows to keep his energy up during the battle.
Here is the story in all its glory, I'd love to see the sequel!
Speedsters challenge!
Bob the Speedster was a small, lightweight build housing a mini-figure!
Using a blow-up dolphin as a mascot, The Small Siren had a long base and big front wheels to pull the speedster down the ramp, reaching a total distance of 94.5", well over 2 metres!
The Zombie Car was also a short, tall build with an awesome name! This could easily be the beginning of a Halloween display where the team have to hunt zombies, werewolves and witches!
