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 9 yr old boy would love the simple machines set!
The crazy action contraptions!
Wow! I didn’t even know about this! Such a great idea and it looks like so much fun! There are too many to choose from…I will have to look deeper into this and get some for my 4!
My kids are studying simple machines in their science class. They would love the Simple Machines set.
We would enjoy the Simple Machines and the Story Starters–what great tools for making learning fun!
We would love all of them, but if we had to choose just one it would be the Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Base Set. All the sets look great!
All of them look great! My kids would love the simple and motorized base set!
The Wild Animals Set, I have 2 boys who are lovin legos right now!
I spent a year lugging a huge bin of Legos back and forth to an after school program. We had some LEGO education curriculum but mostly created our own. It was a blast and an awesome way to teach young kids complex engineering ideas and concepts through building. Now I’d like to continue that with my daughter, but we need to build up our LEGO collection! Simple machines WeDo is fabulous 🙂
I am torn between the Story Starter set and the Simple Machines. They all look fun and would be great to add to our homeschool.
