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 like the simple machines set.
My son would go crazy for the transportation pack!
I think we’d want to start with the Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Base Set. Many of the sets look really neat though!!
All my kids would love the Simple and Motorized Lego set. I know my older ones would love the robotics. My 12 yr old down to my 4 yr old are constantly playing(creating) and role playing with the legos, creating many different kinds of vehicles.

My oldest really wants a Mindstorm. Legos plus robotics… Can’t get any better than that for a 12 year old boy!
All my kids would love the Simple and Motorized Lego set. My boys though, would love the Robotics set. All my kids spend hours creating vehicles and role playing with them. Legos are such a great tool for children. We are just beginning homeschoolers and this would be a great addition to there tools.
I haven’t had the opportunity to use any of their education kits, but we sure use a lot of Legos! The simple machines set looks like a great way to start.
We love LEGO Education because my son wakes up in the morning and says, “Mommy, let’s do some LEGO school today…” 🙂
I like the Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Base Set. We (me and 5 of my 8 boys) just started to focus more on S.T.E.M. this year and this would be a great add. Thanks for the opportunity.
