My middle school daughter was invited to participate in a GA Tech Engineering day. One of the big programs GA Tech and the local middle/high schools are supporting and encouraging is a Lego League competition. From their brochure:

"students solve real-world engineering challenges, develop important life skills, and learn to make positive contributions to society"

Surprised to read now that Lego's are evil.

My daughter is in the IB program and is also looking into GA Tech. This year, she was invited to a ceremony where the keynote speaker was the school's first Valedictorian. The principal introduced this young lady by mentioning that the first time he met her, she was in the 7th grade and playing with Lego blocks. He said he watched her over the next 5 years continue to play with these Lego blocks as she built a robot... that could read. She now heads the development team for the Apache Long Bow long range fire control system. Yeah... those Legos are 'evil'... if you are on the receiving end of the Apache Long Bow!
