A great new lab from K12Lab.com: using the Thermal Infrared Sensor to Measure Heat From a Computer

Team GENIUS introduces their Cool Factor for the Body Forward 2010-2011 Project. A really awesome project!

LabVIEW for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT virtual instruments for Dexter Industries: now available for download.

We've added new NXT-G Blocks so you can start Data Logging with our educational sensors.

Dexter Industries arrives in the Nederlands!  Thanks Xander!

Brian Davis just wrote a great blog post on The NXT Step about testing the DI digital thermometers by measuring his body heat while mowing the lawn.  The whole blog post can be found here.

First, Brian Davis wrote a great blog entry about the Lego thermometers and a really nice analysis of their performance. ...
