A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
When we organize workshops for kids, we always try to support playground-style play. We provide various structures to help kids get started. For a LEGO robotics workshop, for example, we’ll usually suggest a theme for the workshop, like “Underwater Adventure” or “Interactive Garden,” to help spark ideas and encourage collaboration among workshop participants. We’ll also show sample mechanisms that demonstrate different types of motion and provide a sense of what’s possible. But we feel it’s important for kids in the workshop to come up with their own ideas and plans. In an Interactive Garden workshop, for example, a child might imagine, then create, a robotic flower that closes its petals when something approaches. We want kids to experience the challenges and joys of turning their own ideas into projects. That’s the essence of playground-style play.

Symbolic perception, as recognition, is a perception of the permanent: the world is shorn of its contingency and acquires durability. Today, the world is symbolpoor. Data and information do not possess symbolic force and so do not allow for recognition.
