Hi readers! I’m so excited about today’s giveaway!
As many of you know we’ve been absolutely loving the LEGO Education products lately. And my kiddos are super excited that we’ve added them into our curriculum this year.
We’re going to be doing a co-op with the LEGO Education Simple & Motorized Mechanisms Base Set this year, but I’ll have more to share on that later.
Today I have the pleasure of reviewing the LEGO Education WeDo Construction Set and Software for you. This stuff is so cool, I had no idea!
Literally.
I had no idea until my friend’s 12 year old showed me how to use it.
And yes, I felt old.
But then I realized how cool this product is!
As I mentioned, we received the LEGO Education WeDo Construction Set, Activity Pack, and Software set. We downloaded the Farris Wheel instructions from their online resources, then built the project using the WeDo 9580 + 9585 sets combined.
Once our project was complete, we installed the LEGO Education WeDo software pack to my computer. That’s when Trevor came to help bail me out.
I tried to figure out the software on my own.
Because I have an aversion to reading instructions.
Then I gave up and Trevor came to the rescue.
Here’s a short video we made on using the software to power your LEGO Education creation…apparently it’s really not all that complicated. So I’m thinking I was just having an “off” day. Yeah.

And just to show you how cool LEGO Education is, I am giving away one of the Homeschool Simple Machines Pack with a Printed Teacher’s guide to help get you started! (That’s over a $100 kit people, free for one of you!)

Wow! All of the sets for pre-K and lower elementary look great for us. The tubes set, simple machines and wheels would probably be tops on my list but my kids would be delighted with any of them!!
It’s hard to pick one, they are all fantastic. Probably the simple machines set and then we would be hooked!
Love these sets. Hands on learning….
My son has had the privilege of learning with the Lego Robotics with a group of his peers. I would love to be able bring some of this to our home education and share it with his younger siblings. I think Introducing Simple and Powered Machines would be a great product to start with.
I love Lego educational, just discovered them at a homeschooling conference this year. Would love to add thus to our curriculum!
My son would LOVE the simple and motorized mechanisms base set . He loves anything Lego and would love to build things that go!
They all look great! Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Base Set would be a lot of fun.
I love all of them – and feel we could benefit the most from the storystarter set.
My son wants it all. lol I think the Robotics kit would be a wonderful start!
We’d love the Simple machines or We Do kit
