Fun links to Robotics in Education http://www.damienkee.com/Damien Kee in Australia is an independent technology educator bringing technology concepts to teachers and educators around the world. Damien has built a very basic robot "DomaBot" that is the platform for many experiments and projects. DomaBot is built from a minimum sets of parts from the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 kit. Damien has written 4 books, available through Amazon, that deal with various robotics disciplines in the classroom. One in particular deals with Data Logging which is a multi-disciplinary set of projects. Students can learn how to present results of experiments (data visualization) - a very useful skill in today's careers. http://thenxtstep.blogspot.com/A blog about all things Mindstorms NXT 2.0. This blog is apparently also the work of Damien Kee, but with about 20 other contributors. It serves as a clearinghouse of resources for the Lego Mindstorms NXT system. This is a great place to start a search for that perfect project. http://ldd.lego.com/en-us/download/
