ideas from the MIT Media Lab (Score 1)

You may want to check out a recent video on Google Tech Talks called Sowing the Seeds for a more Creative Society. The video details a couple of projects from the MIT Media Lab that are designed to help expose kids to technology in a creative way. The first is a series of building blocks that kids can piece together to create inventions. The second is a software package that kids can use to create programs in a more modular, visual way. You could think of the projects as the next generations of Lego Mindstorms and Logo respectively. I'm not sure how difficult it would be to get involved in the roll-out of the projects, but they both look interesting enough to at least look into further.
