188, New Yorkīest Maker-Friendly Technology: LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0 “LEGO® Education solutions are really instrumental for engaging students and making them college- and career-ready, which is our ultimate goal.” - FREDERICK TUDDA, Principal, P.S. Not only does it inspire and foster kids’ imaginations, it can also be used as a valuable teaching tool, as the company’s new WeDo 2.0 robotics and coding kits demonstrate.” – GIZMODO “There’s a reason LEGO is the most popular toy on earth.
“WeDo 2.0 offers projects that let students discover the surface of Mars with a model rover, or explore the Amazon rainforest through frog metamorphosis.” - JEFFREY MARLOW, Geobiologist at Harvard University and founder of The Mars Academy Education and Development Program This unique combination of building with LEGO® bricks, and then using an easy-to-use classroom app to make WeDo 2.0 come to life through engaging lesson plans for science, technology, engineering and math classes, provides you with everything you need to teach programming in your classroom. Using LEGO® bricks, easy-to-use software and engaging STEM projects, teachers have all they need to teach their students simple programming skills. This packages the WeDo 2.0 hardware, including a sorting tray and labels, 280 LEGO building pieces, a Bluetooth Smarthub, a medium motor, and motion and tilt sensors, and can be ordered for $159.95 from LEGO Education.WeDo 2.0 makes coding a reality for elementary students. However, to practically use the software in their classrooms, educators will also require the LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 Core set.
This gives it an obvious appeal for educators who are already deploying Windows 10 computers or tablets in classrooms, and the software is also available for Mac, Chromebook, iPad and Android tablet. The WeDo 2.0 app is now free to download for Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 8.1. And now, through incorporating a library of 17 projects, 40 hours of material, and an idea-packed Design Library, WeDo 2.0 can pique pupils’ curiosity and encourage them to investigate ideas, experiment, and solve problems – all by putting together LEGO bricks! Many of us can probably remember the fun we had building our own LEGO creations during our childhoods.
Educators can now help second through fourth grade pupils to learn about engineering, technology and programming in a more unique and fun way on Windows 10 devices – as the LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 app has, reports WinBeta, just been added to the Windows Store.
