Examining Playful Invention Company (PICO)
Saw a presentation by Elisabeth Sylvan on the Playful Invention Company (PICO) this past week. This has come out of the Lego supported work at the MIT Media Lab ... inspired by Froebel and Papert.

I am particularly intriqued by the tactile aspect of this, and its use to help engage collaborators on tough problems.
