This paper describes "Empowering Minds", a collaboration between the MIT Media Laboratory, St. Patrick's College in Dublin and Irish primary school teachers. In this project, we are introducing LEGO Mindstorms technology into Irish primary schools, along with a framework for teacher professional development that centrally recognizes teachers' passions and interests in bringing about pedagogical change.
