How many students do you recommend for each set? The result – a resource that builds students’ confidence to ask questions, define problems, and design their own solutions by putting scientific discovery in their hands. Teachers receive support through training, curriculum and built-in assessment. As they collaborate, they deeply engage with science, engineering, technology, and coding, sparking a love for experimentation and investigation. With WeDo 2.0, students will explore, create, and share their scientific discoveries as they build, program, and modify projects. The unique solution combines the LEGO ® brick, classroom-friendly software, engaging and standards-based projects which inspire every student’s desire to discover the world around them. Chromebook support will come in the second half of 2016.LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 is a hands-on, elementary science solution that develops science practices in the classroom through a robot-based learning system. The WeDo 2.0 kits are now available in the US and UK for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, PCs and Macs. The STEM lessons are extra, but Lego Education will apparently offer a site-wide license. Like the consumer products, the educational kits are not cheap, running around $2,000 per classroom. For instance, kids get lessons about recycling by designing a truck, and even learn about biology and pollination, though we're not sure how they pull that off with Lego bricks.

According to Techcrunch, Lego has has developed a curriculum with over 40 hours of science lessons normally taught in fourth grade. On top of robotics, the next-gen WeDo Kit also teaches kids STEM basics via various science projects. The whole thing is driven by a tablet-based drag-and-drop interface that helps kids code basic robotics apps. The new kit also replaces the old USB cables with a Bluetooth LE hub that connects to the motors and tilt sensors. As before, it's designed to teach kids the basics of robotics, thanks to the Mindstorm-like sets. Lego Education has revealed the WeDo 2.0 robotics kit aimed at elementary school students, over eight years after launching the original WeDo. You may not have been able to play with Lego in school, but your kids can.
