• An experience developed in the frame of a graduate level course in Electrical Engineering is introduced in this paper. The use of LEGO Mindstorms indexer and sensors appears to solve the needing of cheap and interactive experimental work to learn about sensors along a topic on Remote Sensing, involving the students in a play that becomes a strong learning tool. The evaluation methodology consisted in a test and a survey. The outcomes show a large satisfaction level among students, but also a correct labour in the cognitive dimension. © 2011 TEMPUS Publications.
