At this level, children playfully discover the world of robotics. They build robot models with their own hands, learn the basics of mechanics and apply them to make their robots move. They are also introduced to programming with the block-based LEGO SPIKE Essential set.
Robotics & Mechanics
Children learn how robots work, what parts and sensors they use, and how to build and program their own models. They discover basic principles of mechanics, such as forces, motion, gears and belts, and learn how these work together in a robot.
Programming
Children learn programming with blocks in the LEGO SPIKE Essential set, including movement, speed, repetition and the use of sensors such as the motion and tilt sensor. They build step-by-step commands to make their robot move and react, discovering how to create their first algorithms.
