How LEGO helps BAe train future drone designers

category national | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Sunday November 14, 2010 15:00author by linksman Report this post to the editors

A link to an indymedia uk article about the educational toy maker LEGO and its connection to the British Aerospace arms giant .
BAe , which is the world’s largest arms manufacturing company , sponsors the international FIRST LEGO leagues where kids compete to make fully-functioning model drones and motorised robots . The Irish LEGO League finals are taking place at the Galway Science Festival at the moment .

On the FIRST LEGO website, Mike Heffron, President of Information Warfare, Electronics and Integrated Solutions at BAe, explains why the world’s biggest arms manufacturer is interested in sponsoring the play activity and education of thousands of children throughout the world:

“Our involvement in FIRST LEGO League is an essential piece of the company’s commitment to the community and education. I believe it is BAE Systems’ role to help develop a passion for science, mathematics, research, and teamwork within students. They are tomorrow’s leaders, scientists, and engineers.”
