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 love any of the LEGO MINDSTORMS sets!
Wow! These sets look so cool. I think i would enjoy this as much as my children. We would love any of them but I would probably start with LEGO Education WeDo Construction Set.
We have the Wild Animals set, which both of my sons love. My oldest would LOVE the simple machines set, though. That is exactly what he is into.
My kids really want any thing lego min storm!
My kiddos LOVE Legos. I think the Story Starter Core Set would be a great start!
I like Lego Education because it would get all the kids and dad together to play and learn.
Love the Lego story set! My son struggles to re tell a story sequence. He gets too excited…like his mom…
The EV3 Set looks like fun.
I can’t think of one my boys wouldn’t like — all boys and all things LEGO here! 😉 Since we are currently studying Astronomy, the EV3 Space Challenge one looks really neat.
Thanks!
I would love the base set
