Helping Mommy with work - GoldieBlox and Cubelets

Mommy's job involves fun science and engineering toys. Sometimes I get to help test them out with her.

GoldieBlox were designed by a Stanford Engineer who made a toy that combined engineering with a story book about a girl who wants to design a spinning machine for her dog. I like doggies and I like to spin so I thought that was a pretty good idea. I put the pegs in the board and the spools on the pegs.

Cubelets - these are modular pieces that you can use to make little robots. Some of the pieces do things (outputs) and others sense things (inputs) and some are logic blocks. They all stick together with magnets.

 I made a robot. When I put my hand near it, the robot moves away and lights up!
