LCSI ANNOUNCES MicroWorlds EXT Robotics Edition for Mac OS X
MONTREAL, CANADA - June 14, 2004 - Logo Computer Systems Inc. (LCSI) is
proud to announce the availability of a Mac OS X version of MicroWorlds
EXT Robotics Edition.
Appropriate for students in grades 4 and up, MicroWorlds EX Robotics
Edition encourages the development of transferable problem solving
strategies and critical thinking skills by providing opportunities for
both in-depth explorations and project creation. This exciting new
product lets students be scientists, engineers, and inventors as they
plan projects, develop models and test their ideas. Designed to work
with the LEGO® RCX programmable brick (a micro-computer inside a LEGO®
brick) or with Crickets (tiny mobile computers that fit in the palm of
your hand), students can build a model and control it using the
procedures they download to the LEGO® RCX brick or Cricket.
"We are proud to offer a Mac OS X version of MicroWorlds EX Robotics to
our loyal customers and our ever growing family of new users." says
Michael A. Quinn, President of LCSI. "Teachers and students will get a
real sense of the depth and breadth of this powerful exploration
environment and we are confident it will meet their every need and
expectation."
An extremely versatile program, MicroWorlds EX Robotics can also be used
to generate anything from science simulations to mathematical
explorations to interactive multimedia stories. It provides students
with the tools they need to design, construct, animate, analyze,
integrate, visualize and explore different concepts. Students can even
build onscreen presentations or simulations in which an event triggers
their model to start.
Available on both Windows and Mac OS X platforms, MicroWorlds EX
Robotics provides full teacher support that includes tutorials that show
how to create curriculum-linked projects, an on-screen techniques panel
containing simple step-by-step instructions for hundreds of
techniques, and samples that demonstrate the range of exploration
possibilities. Click here for ways to contact LCSI. For
