1. Revya Raksha points out that this episode was sorely missing some ideas of consensus reality and social constructionism.

2. Jeez, I think it wasn't until years later you started seeing things like that in the Lower East Side galleries, things like the collage constructionism.

3. And also programming and constructionism, what we then develop after the basic concept of writing code, how a child of five years of age, could build his own knowledge base by building, by doing.

4. And that's sort of at the heart of what Lily will be talking about in the MITx reading, when they start talking about Seymour Papert, who was a brilliant professor and researcher at MIT who created the field of constructionism, which is the study of something by doing the something.
