Leonardo's Cradle

Leonardo's Basement is a kid-oriented, creative learning place for kids to design and build from their imaginations. It's in South Minneapolis. I've never been there, but stopped by yesterday to drop off some Make magazines and a box of old model car parts fit for kit bashing.

This is what greets you when you walk in the door of their lower-level workshop space:


Yes, that's a bowling-ball-scale Newton's Cradle.

I had to resist the temptation of knocking one ball into the others.
