3D Thinking

I was today in Transport Engeneering class, talking about combined systems, when the yellow bulb lighted. It happen when the teacher was showing carrier ships photos.

I think about I was child, and friends of my family gave me a Tente box. It was Spanish toy like Lego, but the final result was more realistic. That box I received has standard blocks and special pieces to build several kinds of civil ships (I think the present was related to the fact my Dad is capitain in the Merchant Taiwanese Marine).

I spent lots of evenings building ships following the drafts. My parents bought me more Tente boxes with lots of more designs.

I’m aware of difficulties of my school mates to think in 3D with designs, and these problems are
more serious the more they are younger. I think Tente put me in advantage.

By the way, I found a fans of Tente blog (via Barrapunto)
