Not even joking us engineers have a kit called ROBOpro that teaches you basic level programming with software and hardware. I remember that i finished my marble sorter and I just goofed off with my team and made some concoction that circled our table and had fans everywhere so we never got hot. Fantastic class it was

Aw ****, I have a class using ROBOpro right now.
We have two weeks left filled with nothing, so we're allowed to just make whatever within our teams. Mine decided to make a spirograph of sorts.
I'd post a picture if I had one.

This is what they do after university, and put it down as experience so they can get a job.

You use a loom to weave yarn into cloth.

Somewhat related Weaver of Fate gif.

They are lego technic pieces, powered by the lego mindstorm robotics. Using a laptop and a simple program, one can program an array of sensors and motors to act, independent of each other.

legos have a ton of gear and structural parts in certain packages. regular old legos are blocks and all that. things like bionicles needed gears and structural parts to move and to connect.
