ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
In Houston at ACM last year I spoke with at least one or two museums who used the blocks and loved them. They appear to be a pretty well developed product. But to me Maker Faire is all about the "Home Made World" and these as a commercial product just don't fit no matter how cool they are.
But that's just my two cents...
