For whom

  • Beginners and continuing children (8–9 years old)

  • Motivated 6–7-year-olds can participate after completing the Basic level.

Children build and program robots with LEGO® SPIKE™ Essential and work with word-based blocks in the app. They work on more challenging robot projects and learn to expand their programs with logic, sensors, and repetition.

The Essential level consists of three modules — Motion, Sensors, and Logic. These modules can be taken in any order and together form a solid next step after Basic.

At this level, children learn about robotics and programming in a playful way with the LEGO® SPIKE™ Essential robotics kit.
They build different robot models, discover how movement and sensors work, and learn to control their robots with word-based programming in the LEGO SPIKE app.

Language: Dutch & English

 
 

The Essential level consists of three modules — Motion, Sensors, and Logic.

Each module has its own focus and can be taken in any order . Together, they form a complete Essential robotics program. After completing all modules, your child can move on to the Prime level.

Motion

Movement and control
This module focuses on movement: how robots move and how you can control that movement using code.

Sensors

Observing and responding
Here, children discover how robots can use information from their environment and respond to it.

Logic


Thinking and Deciding
This module focuses on logic: robots learn to make choices, repeat actions, and deal with situations more intelligently.

 

Robotics & Mechanics

Children build and program different robot models with LEGO® SPIKE™ Essential. They discover how parts and mechanisms work together and how forces, motion, and transmissions affect their robot's behavior.

Through experimentation, they learn to make their robots smarter and more efficient and develop their technical understanding.

Programming

Children program their robots with word-based blocks in the LEGO® SPIKE™ app. They make their robots move and react with sensors and use logic and repetition to create smart robot behavior.

This allows children to develop their logical thinking and problem-solving skills in a playful manner.
