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!)

Disclosure: I received a free kit from the company mentioned for review and giveaway on my blog. The opinions expressed are my own and were not influenced by the company or the free product provided.
Our children have been extremely interested in making anything that flies (i.e., paper airplanes, rocket ships, etc.) and would be thrilled to receive any kit that helped advance their learning in that area. Thanks for the giveaway!
For me it would be a toss up between the Build to Express and the Story Starters sets. Both my dc have language issues and anything that would help in that area would be very helpful.
Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Base Set would be perfect for my oldest two.
We like the story starters, simple motorized set, and the animal set. Any of them look like great learning resources though.
Thanks
I have been wanting the simple and motorized machine set for ages!!! I also love the storyteller sets! I habe a pretty long wishlist on lego education!
I had no idea!?! The Simple Machines Set with Teacher Guide sounds very exciting from a homeschooling perspective. And the Wild Animals do look fun! How to choose? My goodness.
My son would probably love the animal set.
I am an engineer turned middle school teacher turned full time homeschooling mom. I love legos and anything that children can use to begin to see how they can solve problems and create solutions out of their creativity and effort. I especially love this when it applies to girls.We would love the Simple Machines Set with Teacher Guide – it seems like it would be at the best level for my two girls and I would love to incorporate it into our schooling.
the animals set sounds great
The simple motorized set looks great!
