Years in Education 1980 - 2010

Early Learning for ages 1½-5+ As well as basic construction and simple technology sets, this range covers popular themes such as Animals, Transportation and Home & Family. Children learn about community roles and relationships, explore real-life and imaginary worlds, practise storytelling, sort and categorise, and much, much more. See pages 6-24.

Machines & Mechanisms for ages 5-11+

LEGO® Education offers unique solutions to day-care professionals and teachers who want to bring more innovation and creativity to their classroom practice. Using our tools and hands-on teaching methods, your children will become better able to learn through experience, collaborate with their classmates, and think creatively to come up with unique solutions. That’s LEGO smart.

This range enables children to learn about basic structures, balance, moving parts, and solving problems through design. They build and explore real-life machines and mechanisms and use them to test, make observations, adapt and invent new solutions. See pages 26-37.

Robotics for ages 7-16+ This range features two robotics ranges: LEGO® Education WeDo,™ which is ideal for getting started on simple robotics, and LEGO MINDSTORMS Education, which allows students to work with a variety of real-life robotic behaviours. See pages 38-51.

Professional Development At LEGO® Education we recognise that you might need some extra help and support to get the most out of your resources. This is why we have designed courses for day-care professionals and teachers. We believe in a facilitative approach to teaching. This allows students to take a more active role in their learning, and all our courses explore ways to enhance this teaching style. The courses provide participants with hands-on experience through practical workshops, information about ways to optimise classroom management of resources, and tools for curriculum planning. Contact your nearest distributor for more information.

Many thanks for a great training session on LEGO® Education WeDo™. I enjoyed the mix of hands-on, curriculum discussion and the right level of direct instruction. It inspired me to look for curriculum opportunities in my year group. I planned and ran a LEGO Education WeDo session covering the Vikings by building LEGO boats to control. The pupils loved the session and it all covered so much in ICT for control as well as the topic. I now have built my confidence to try the NXT.

LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education Robotics Engineering Volume 2: 12+ Guided Research 2009788 Up to 60 hours of tuition, divided into three comprehensive research projects based on the themes of Automated Mining, Sentry Guard Dog and Automated Tree Measuring following an authentic guided research approach. Developed by Carnegie Mellon University. Includes teacher’s guide. Provides the next step for students who have completed 209787 Robotics Engineering Volume 1.

Robotics Engineering Volume 1: 12+

Introduction to Mobile Robotics LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education is unique because it allows me to teach science and technology in a very rewarding way: If I want children to develop scientific enquiry skills and understand technological concepts, it’s no good me just telling them how it is, or what to do. LEGO MINDSTORMS Education allows children to investigate, plan, test and implement their ideas – and in this way they work things out for themselves. This is very rewarding as a teacher. You see them enjoying themselves, getting results that they are happy with and answering problems that you have set them.
