Hi David, I worked with a curriculum that was built around LEGO and the earlier versions of Mindstorms. The program was called Children's Technology Workshop and it was quite apparent to me that the combination of robotics and programming proved to be a creative spark for the youngsters who enrolled.

Unfortunately, the school didn’t have a budget for that. I’ve since tried other strategies (games such as light-bot or programs like robomind) and found children for some reason really love programming. I think the whole idea of programmable robots is brilliant and should be used a lot more in schools for ICT training. Even for adults.
