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 12 year old would love the Lego Robotics set or the Green City Challenge Set!
I like them all, maybe machines the most??
I love the Simple Machines set. I love that Legos allow for so much creativity. They keep my kids entertained for hours and they are so much better then TV!
I like the AquaPort Launcher
Simple machines
Wild animals
I think the Lego Space Challenge set looks really interesting. My son is always talking about sending space exploration equipment to Mars, but really I think any of the Lego sets would add a lot to middle school science.
I think my kids would enjoy them all however, I would love the Wild Animals set since we are doing apologia Zoo Animals this year 😉
What is there not to love about Legos! The creativity that happens with Legos is amazing! As a family — it has been amazing to watch our Lego experience change over time — from Duplos to robotics! The wheels are always spinning in their amazing minds to see what they can create next! We like Simple Machines and learning the concepts of how basic simple machines work and applying them to our daily lives. Legos and homeschooling — an amazing combination!
The simple machines set!
