LEGO Coding WeDo 2.0

Learners will combine LEGO construction and coding to get their build to move.

With our WE.DO.20 kit we have three separate workshops available:

Cooling Fan:

A great way to introduce young learners to building with LEGO and coding. Learners will be introduced on how to build with LEGO using instructions. Then using the WeDo2.0 software students will create a simple coding programme to get the fan to rotate.

Milo the Robot:

Aimed for learners with some coding experience and involves a more challenging build with LEGO than the Cooling Fan. Learners will follow instructions to build Milo then using the WeDo2.0 software will programme Milo to move.

An extension to this actvitiy is possible by attaching motion sensors to Milo for those learners who need addition challenges.

The Lunar Rover:

This activity is best for those in Years 5 and 6. During the activity, learners will build a complex model, The Luna Rover. Then by coding motors and sensors, learners will guide the rover the surface of the Moon.

*Both the Cooling Fan and Milo can have additional challenges for extension. Extension challenges are at the digression of the presenter with the allotted time given.
