Call
for basically - in kind – Lego sponsorship / donation
To whom it might be interesting
aspiring and passionate
for the knowledge,
transmitted
through the Lego-construction works and games
Dear all,
I’m
writing you, because even in Bulgaria the interest in Lego classes, although
being slowly, is growing from day to day. But unfortunately the important events
happen only in the capital of Bulgaria – Sofia. Only there are a few and very
expensive, besides being - sporadic courses targeted directly in an eventual
final phase – the Lego-robotics, but skiping the basic Lego-sets like the set "We do" – which courses skip very important steps in
inspiring children and teenagers for – mechanics-automatization and ecologically saving energy products. And I
believe – namely these topics learned and exercised through the Lego-games can give
to the children more stable perspective in their development - in knowledge and
practices.
Being
independent educator and animator I’ve had a lot of difficulties to assemble
different game packages from different producers /which weren’t always easy to
build /in order to give at least an imaginary idea on the above mentioned
topics I’ve learned in continuity and gradually with Lego. And having only a
few original samples from Lego’s range of products /that means without a lot of
possibilities to exercise with the children the construction-works with Lego/ - even that - I’ve tried to
do all my best in order at least to demonstrate the range of capacity given by
Lego–games – in order to direct the children’s attention into the possible final
step – the Lego robotics courses /which, again and unfortunately in Bulgaria are
with very limited places in there/.
Therefore
- me and some friends of mine, we’ve decided to make a little experimental
studio, where if it’s possible, the Lego- sets
to become the basics-ones /besides the other construction sets/. The Studio has
to be “on the move”. As example - besides for the region of Sofia, it might be
also for the regions of Sliven, Stara Zagora and Burgas and the satellite towns
– where all the basics data-facts exist, like: professional schools in the
fields of mechanics, electricity and electronics, mathematics and informatics, building
construction and art and technological design.
The
range of topics – in correspondence with Lego packages /depending on the
materials and sets which would be assembled/ might be as presented in the table
below:

1.
In order to diminish the prices of all
the consumables /lake battery, missing particles/ and the prices to all the
printed materials, we’ve prepared in Bulgarian language/to be printed in
color - which is always more inspiring for the children’s imagination/
2.
And in order to diminish the transport costs between towns
we’re looking also for 3000 EUR – IBAN BG92 CECB 9790 10G4 0856 00
/ CECBBGSF
The
program might start immediately
if the first and/or if the second point /in separately or in parallel/ of
this table is accomplished
If
only the second and/or the third points of the table are accomplished in
parallel to the mentioned above – we shall be ready to start the courses the next month from receiving the packages.
So we are ready to start introducing Lego-classes - by the middle of December
2016 – or in the beginning of January 2017 , which is the best period to
making the classes in full capacity
Our
starting capacity to make classes
is the double number of the above
mentioned in the table number of packages.
If
there’s no enough financial sponsorships for the moment – and in order to test the capacity
of interest towards this kind of Lego-classes - we shall proceed with
black-white printed materials and with stationary studios. There would be
materials for the moment on my personal site http://ah-present.blogspot.bg/p/blog-page_8.html
- http://ah-present.blogspot.bg/p/blog-page_5.html
– or links into the original URL addresses – in order to facilitate the
participants – to look on the colored illustrations.
The Lego
Sponsorship campaign will be closed after receiving all the materials
required by point in the table! And we shall inform the
independent volunteers to stop donate / to stop make sponsoring into the
point in the table /or if occasionally - there’re some surplus of interest –
we shall ask the sponsors – if possible – to send materials later on – or to
organize a competition prize with the surplus of the Lego packages /
N.B.
Please, note that our possibilities to store packages are restricted for the
moment into two depot-storages in two towns/ the maximum capacity is the double number of the above mentioned
in the table number of packages / – so, please, before sending materials –
call me, in order to make the logistics
N.B.
Please, do not hesitate to
send us out-of-date Lego Sets – the important is that there’s instruction
manual, no broken parts, /if some of the particles is missing /at least one
of the models has to be made – and in the way you could send it to us
N.B.
Please, note that it's depends on you – and in accordance with the laws of
your country – if you’d like to make a donation or if it would be some sort
of sponsorship

Hoping
that together we could help and inspire a little community of children to use
in an amazing way from the good Lego-practices,
I’m
looking forwards to your support!
