老少咸宜的益智玩具─樂高

Over the years, Lego has spread beyond the playroom. Today, Lego operates a chain of theme parks around the world called Legoland. The first opened up beside Christiansen’s original factory in Denmark in the late 1960s. Since then, these parks that look as though they are built entirely of Lego blocks have spread as far as Asia and North America. These theme parks have Lego towns, playhouses, and even Lego roller coasters.
Lego has also found its way into classrooms as a learning tool. For older kids, Lego has robot sets that can be built and even programmed. Some teachers in the US have started using these sets to teach students about basic robotics and engineering. Even the basic building blocks have been used to teach younger students about fractions. People learn through their sight, and Lego gives teachers building blocks that show rather than tell.
這些年來，樂高已經遍佈到遊戲間以外的地方了。現今，樂高在世界各地經營了名為《樂高樂園》的連鎖主題樂園。第一家就開在六○年代末期克里斯汀森在丹麥最初的工廠旁邊。此後，這些看起來彷彿整個用樂高積木建造的樂園最遠已遍佈到亞洲及北美洲。這些主題樂園裡有樂高城鎮、兒童遊戲館，甚至還有樂高雲霄飛車。
樂高也已經成為課堂裡的學習工具了。對年紀比較大的小朋友來說，樂高有可以建造甚至也可以設定的機器人組合。在美國，有些老師已經開始用這些組合來教學生基本的機器人學及工程學。甚至最初級的積木也已經被用來教年紀比較小的學生數學的分數。人們透過視覺來學習，而樂高給了老師可以用來展示而非嘴巴說的積木。
