AT MIT, a Toy Lab for Classes?

Ateneo Innovation and Entrepreneurship "New ideas create more and better new products and services; create more wealth."
 



A recent feed (from a blog list, reader service) of a class that involves making Toys and this means the students have to visit Toy Stores in Malls.  This is called Toy Labs and founded in 2004 by Professor.  The lab was turned into a class by Prof. Barry Kudrowitz, David Wallace and  Bill Fienup.  Funding was provided by toymaker Hasbro.  The transformation of the lab into class was in 2004.  However the first classes took place in 2010

The Nerf Atom Blaster was designed in their labs.

What do you think of such a class?  There would be lot of fun.  And it is going to bring back the child in in you.
