Our school has yet to have the materials necessary to launch a LEGO robotics club. I would love to be the teacher to lead this club and introduce students to the wonderful world of coding and robotics. It's crucial to allow students to investigate their interest in STEM at a young age.
Robotics is an exciting way to bring STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) to our classroom.
With LEGO SPIKE Essential, students will learn through playful learning activities to think critically and solve complex problems, regardless of their learning level. My students can build robots and use software to plan, test, and modify sequences of instructions to improve upon their creations. STEAM is crucial, especially, for my students who want to be doctors, architects, engineers, scientists, computer programmers, etc. With LEGO SPIKE Essential kits, I will be able to give my students the opportunity to dream big and create fully functioning robots and other inventions.
SPIKE Essential engages students in hands-on investigation of STEAM concepts while contributing to literacy, math, and social-emotional development. Standards-aligned learning units use everyday themes, relatable Minifigures with different personalities, and familiar LEGO® building elements to solve problems through storytelling.
SPIKE Essential consists of a main classroom brick set with a wide variety of LEGO® elements and intelligent hardware, along with the intuitive SPIKE™ App, all of which is accompanied by a selection of unit plans.
SPIKE Essential excites students and delivers strong STEAM learning outcomes, developing their STEAM knowledge and practices, and 21st-century skills. I can't wait to see what students can create and build with these LEGO SPIKE Essential kits.
More than half of students from low‑income households
