In 1911, A.C. Gilbert invented the Erector Set -- a motorized toy made of steel parts. The Erector Set was the first toy to run a national advertising campaign, which was geared specifically towards boys. The line was discontinued in 1960, but the concept of toys that introduce engineering and structural principles still exists. In fact, kids can now even build and program their own robots, using a similar building concept as the original toy.]]> 2019-03-26 14:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/15003327/bruuf8olmmew/wish/345298119 15003327 https://padlet.com/15003327/bruuf8olmmew/wish/345298677 2019-03-26 14:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/15003327/bruuf8olmmew/wish/345298677 1930- Monopoly 15003327 https://padlet.com/15003327/bruuf8olmmew/wish/345299729
