Hillel Cooperman in his TED talk talks about his passion for Lego and what can be created with this amazing constructor. This is not a millet hobby, it is an opportunity to create your own world, to construct machines that previously existed only in our heads.
Special programs for modeling your own projects, equipment for programming Lego robots (a great way to raise a young programmer), 3D movies — in this world for adults and children, you can find almost anything.
Hillel bought his first set of constructor when his son turned 4 years old. We bought it for our son when he was 3 years old. Of course, the purchase was more for us than for Vanya: wouldn't a three-year-old child assemble a plane with an airport? But when he grew up, all the spare parts were suitable for the implementation of his ideas, starting with those that we bought at the very beginning.
The video is voiced by the FEDORisTED team.
I can get stuck on collecting a new toy myself. Thank God, Vanya has already reached the age when he can buy really interesting and complex models - almost anything can be assembled from their parts!
