(a+b)cubed is a physical material/activity on the shelf in Montessori classrooms; at the younger level the challenge is to dis-assemble and then reassemble the prisms and cubes as a stereo-gnostic 'puzzle;' the older children use the material to cube binomials first as a mathematical exercise, then as an algebraic equation, and ultimately as a model for the calculation of cube root. We're pumped. Ready for TEDx with a 4-year old and an 11 year-old doing their age-level activities with Montessori’s infamous bi-nomial cube.

The firepower in the room is explosive, and learning what other people are doing is the most thrilling part of it. I attended TEDMED in 2003 in Philly, and still have the DVDs (sort of newfangled then) and cool badge. Best JL Totally agree, Eric: TED is a mind-blowing experience.

As a fellow "non-virgin" I want to add "Switch Craft: Battery Powered Crafts to Make and Sew" to that TED reading list. It is one of the only books of a TEDster that actually shows people (specifically women) how to make electronic gadgets of their own. Talk about "Making it Work!" Cheers Eric Greenspan! May we meet again :) BTW: @missrogue's list is awesome - glad to see you post it! I loved TED and meeting you and your wife!
