LEGO Robotics

LEGO Education WeDo 2.0, a specially designed program for primary schools provides an engaging, hands-on experience that students need to explore core STEM concepts and solve real-life problems.

Our guided and open project-based learning empowers students to ask the right questions, define problems, and design their own solutions.

LEGO Education WeDo 2.0, a specially designed program for primary schools provides an engaging, hands-on experience that students need to explore core STEM concepts and solve real-life problems.

Science and Computing come to life through our expertly crafted hands-on Robotics curriculum. Our guided and open project-based learning empowers students to ask the right questions, define problems, and design their own solutions.

What does your child learn

  • Build up to 15 Robotic models using Guided projects and step by step instructions.
  • Using block-based programming, bring their robots to life and learn mechanisms such as drive, walk, wobble, lift, grab, speed, tilt, spin and many more.
  • Learn the ‘Art of Tinkering’ by exploring how the motors and motion sensors work and make new discoveries.
Scientists investigate that which already is; Engineers create that which has never been.
– Albert Einstein

What children do in a session

Build

Children assemble a working model from LEGO — gears, motors, levers and sensors — and find out what each part does by using it.

Program

The build is brought to life with drag-and-drop code, so a change on screen has a visible effect on the robot in front of them.

Test and fix

Models rarely work first time. Debugging a robot teaches children to change one thing, test, and try again — the core of engineering.

Work together

Builds are tackled in pairs and small groups, and every session ends with children showing what they made and how it works.
