The Latest and Greatest

This third tutorial with the presentation software deals with Verbals. This is a topic that is usuallly not presented until high school (if ever). With this presentation, we think you will find it very easy to understand!

All the color-coding and diagramming tutorials will be completed by the end of August and be available for the fall semester.

One of the Chacko clan designed a website for selling Lego building instructions.  You can visit the site at www.brickaction.com.

You may send your feedback to us at rcgames@senari.com.

Thanks!
