LEGO Brand Audit
LEGO Brand Audit Melanie Banfield ComStrat 564 2-14-16 Executive Summary LEGO is a family-owned, private toy company headquartered in Billund, Denmark. LEGO was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen and continues to operate under his motto; “Guided by the company spirit: ‘Only the best is good enough’, the company is committed to the development of children and aims to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow through creative play and learning,” (www.lego.com). Today, 75 percent of the company is owned by KIRKBI A/S and 25 percent is owned by the LEGO Foundation (www.legofoundation.com), which is committed to programs and research that are “Defining Learning Through Play.” In 2015, LEGO achieved the status as the world’s largest toy manufacturer, beating out its closest rival, Mattel, after increasing its sales in 2015 by 23 percent. The operating profit for LEGO was $700 million. LEGO has come a long way in 84 years from a company that began making wooden toys and step ladders to a company that was named “The Product of the Century” by Fortune Magazine was inducted into the U.S. Toy Hall of Fame and has been adopted by NASA to promote its educational mission (adage.com). LEGO employs over 14,000 people in 28 countries. Their success is due to the consistency and durability of their LEGO brick that allows for hours of imaginative play as well as learning through play. LEGO’s recent global success is in part due to their ability to connect with users through online communities to better understand how their customers use their product, promote their product, and collaborate on ideas.

Using Robocup in University-Level Computer Science Education
Using RoboCup in University-level Computer Science Education ELIZABETH SKLAR Columbia University SIMON PARSONS Brooklyn College, City University of New York and PETER STONE The University of Texas at Austin Team-based projects have been proven in the education literature to be an effective pedagogical methodology. As a result, we have been using RoboCup challenges as the basis for class projects in undergraduate and masters level courses. This paper unifies several independent efforts in this direction and presents our work in the development of shared resources and evaluation instruments. We outline three courses and describe the related class projects in order to make the context of our investigation clear and to make it possible for others to replicate and extend our work as well as contribute to the shared resource. Categories and Subject Descriptors: ... [...]: ... General Terms: ... Additional Key Words and Phrases: ... 1. INTRODUCTION The notion of educational robotics — the use of robotics as a hands-on learning environ- ment — is becoming increasingly common, with the rise in popularity of low-cost and ac- cessible robot kits [Sklar and Parsons 2002]. Creative instructors are finding ways to teach a myriad of science topics using these hands-on technologies and engaging students of all ages. Tournaments are being organized around the robots, and the energy, enthusiasm and motivation displayed by students is unsurpassed. We have found the RoboCup challenges — especially Soccer Simulation and RoboCupJunior Soccer and Rescue — to be particu- larly conducive to college-level classroom use. We believe that the ability to demonstrate theoretical models and complex algorithms with a hands-on, accessible medium strength- ens the learning experience for students.
