How does SPIKE Prime fit into the curriculum? Storage isn’t forgotten either, with 2 sorting trays and a durable storage container included, for less mess and efficient tidying post-lesson.
SPIKE PRIME BLUETOOTH
Classic brick-shaped and easy-to-use, it contains 6 input/output ports, 5×5 light matrix, Bluetooth connectivity, a speaker, 6-axis gyro, and a rechargeable battery.Īll of this helps to work accurate motors and sensors, coupled with colourful LEGO® elements, which means students spend less time building and more time learning. SPIKE™ is focussed around being the tool to ignite the innovative minds of tomorrow (without taking the fun away!).Īt the heart of SPIKE™ Prime is its programmable ‘Hub’. Pupils are able to use the kit to solve complex problems for every learning level with limitless possibilities for expanding on the curriculum. These SoW provide challenging and relevant STEAM activities which combine simple LEGO brick and an even simpler drag-and-drop coding language based on Scratch. The team at LEGO Education have provided a scheme of work with LEGO SPIKE PRIME sets.


With stackable bricks, technical elements and advanced coding opportunities, SPIKE™ offers excellent experience in learning critical thinking skills through its easy-to-use hardware. How does LEGO SPIKE Prime help to teach STEAM? LEGO Education considers classroom settings and what is needed whereas LEGO aims to please on an individual ‘at home’ basis. In 2013, the successful MINDSTORMS EV3 was released, and from there LEGO Education has gone from strength to strength, providing educationalists with exciting and effective resources for coding lessons. First came MINDSTORMS in 1998 – but not as you may recognise MINDSTORMS as it is today. It took some time before LEGO Education saw the potential for LEGO in a STEAM setting.
