The LEGO
Education WeDo Construction set is a primary education resource developed for
younger primary school pupils as an introduction to control technology and
programming using robotics. This fantastic cross-curricular construction set
can be used in ICT, science and maths as well as language and literacy.
The set contains more than 150 LEGO elements, including Motion and Tilt
Sensors, a motor, and the LEGO USB Hub. The accompanying icon-based
drag-and-drop software provides an intuitive programming environment.
Working with theme-based activities, younger primary school pupils are able
to build LEGO robotic models with working motors, gears, cams and tilt
sensors before programming with the intuitive WeDo robotics software to bring
them to life. The WeDo Construction Set enables the pupils to hook up the
robots to their computer via the supplied USB hub allowing them to program
the robots actions, sounds and responses.
The supporting curriculum pack contains activities that are divided into
four themes and provide helpful teacher notes, instructions for project-based
learning, a glossary, and building instructions.
