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!)

I think the Robotics stuff looks fun!!
We were just talking about this yesterday and how badly our kids need this in our schooling 🙂 They have tinkered with these at a camp and love the motorized and simple machine pack!
Anything Lego and motorized, can’t got wrong!
I like the MINDSTORMS Education Base Set with TETRIX because it gives the kids an opportunity to build a robot!
We would love the WeDo Construction set! it would be so wonderful for my son!
I love the Simple and Motorized mechanisms base set. Legos are amazing and they have really helped all three of my kids with fine motor skills. My youngest has cerebral palsy and he loves putting them together and this one is especially cool because it moves.
My six-year-old son would love We Do robotics as he very eager to build Legos and make it move.
I think my son would love all the sets! Hard to say which one to pick first!
The Simple & Base set would be a great starting spot! My son loves Legos and any way to incorporate that in learning is a win-win!!!
My son would LOVE the wild animals set!
