Project 2 ( above ) is adding a motion sensor to Milo which allows him to stop when he sees an object and the next adds a tilt sensor, concepts which are then used in later projects. For example, we added in a sequence of colour changes for Milo and some sounds, much to the amusement of my children you can even record yourself talking, or making noises and add those to the code too.Ĭhildren are reminded to photograph their work and record any findings so teachers can record their progress though the challenges.Įach project is standalone and doesn’t require that students complete the one before, although the initial getting started projects are great for gaining an understanding as to how the system works. Sample code is given at the end of the instructions but this can easily be expanded upon to add extra fun features. Children first build Milo the Science Rover who my 7 year old adored and now affectionally calls the whole set Milo regardless of the formation being used.Įach project is simply explained with a fun animated video to set the scene and children are encouraged to think about the problem in a real life context with full instructions to build the solution. There are four Getting Started projects which are a great introduction to the software, motor and sensors. Code blocks are added by dragging and dropping which meant even my 5 year old could code a simple program. The LEGO WeDo 2.0 Core software is impressively easy to use with a bright, colourful interface. LEGO WeDo 2.0 allows children to research, explore, create, collaborate, share and present their scientific discoveries as they work their way through the 40 hours of exciting, varied and engaging projects relevant to real life The basic package comes with 280 building elements, a Bluetooth Low Energy-based hub which connects to a motor, as well as motion and tilt sensors. WeDo 2.0 from LEGO Education is a fantastic new learning tool designed to introduce children to robotics, engineering, programming and general STEM teaching through a robot-based learning system.
