August 10th- Schoolhouse Fun with Pegoes

Last week on Wednesday, Tommi and Joe experimented with Pegoes, blocks with 1 inch spacing drilled holes. On the left, Tommy is playing Lego golf. On the right, Tommy can be seen modeling the Pegoes Stilt prototypes in action with the Hoberman sphere as accessory. Click the images to enlarge.

August 3rd- Fun with Christmas Lights and the Hoberman Sphere





 The 1880's era schoolhouse building on Lenox Laser property has recently been renovated into a family-friendly space to promote the exploration of science. The walls are covered in pegboard, and they are covered with Lego and eBlox contraptions.







 Joe d'Entremont of Lenox Laser likes to take his grandchildren here to play and explore. Here, little Tommy and friend David experiment with inserting old Christmas lights into a pegboard stand.








Playing with the Hoberman sphere- a.k.a expanding sphere- fun for all ages!









Way to use your head!
