      ab: The article discusses the research and development (R&D) laboratory at the headquarters of the toy company Lego in Billund, Denmark, as of May 2013. It examines the development of Lego's robotics-based Mindstorms EV3 toys. According to the article, the EV3 is the third generation of the Mindstorms series and part of the social trend identified as the maker movement promoting tinkering among children. The article discusses online communities that exchange ideas concerning Mindstorms, competitions among schoolchildren across the world involving Mindstorms, and the incorporation of Legos and Mindstorms into educational curricula in the U.S. The article also discusses the cultural significance of Legos, the history of Lego, and the engineering principles associated with Lego toys.
