This article has colaboration of Pietro Domingues.
In this section we will see how to reproduce workpieces using many materials.
Some materials we can use at room temperature, such as Plaster of Paris and resin. Other
materials must be melted at higher temperatures, such as Tin and Paraffin wax.

About Papert’s Mindstorms: Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas,
Fellow
The book talks about education and computer used as instrument to help cognitive development. Papert writes a critic declaration about the using of LOGO language in the mathematics education for children and the positive impact caused by this process. Despite it was written in 80s, we can affirm that the subject is present, and although we use computers at school nowadays, the book shows a little-explored way: The child as protagonist and author.
