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!)

My girls would love the wild animals!
Our 4 boys would love the 9580 LEGO® Education WeDo Construction Set. We are just beginning homeschooling this term. Very excited.
Thanks for your website. I love it!!
I like the Renewable energy add on kit. I would love to get that for my kids.
I love the wild animal sets! So cool!
I like the Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Base Set – I think my son would love figuring out motors with LEGOs.
I think the Adventure Stories one looks really cool! And I know my son would think any of them were awesome. He informed me about a year ago that he would be moving to Denmark when he graduated college and would be working for Lego as an Engineer!
I have been wanting to add this to my kids education, but just cannot afford the set right now. We are studying the 1900’s and the Simple Machine Set would be a great addition to our studies. Thanks for previewing the product. I have seen you mention them previously and have looked into them before, but winning this would be amazing!
I just began homeschooling my two youngest this year and came across the LEGO series and would lo eto try this out. My favorite is the Robotics
I like the simple and motorized machines set!
Why do I NOT like Lego Education. It teaches basic physics concepts to my son while he has fun creating, combining both science and creativity.
The simple and motorized machine sets would be perfect for my son.
