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 kids would love it all! I would likely choose a simple machines set to start with.
We would live the simple ma
We like the simple and motorized mechanisms base set because my husband and 2 boys love mechanics and motors and of course Lego’s. They just began a Junior Lego League for school this year and this seem right down the line of what they will be using. Thanks for offering this. 🙂
Anything that involves hands-on learning is a great activity for my kids!!
I think my daughter would love the Storystarter set.
Hi Erica,
My son wants to do the Lego robotics so badly! After hours of research, I concluded that the EV3 set would be the best starting point. http://www.legoeducation.us/eng/product/homeschool_ev3_set_with_software/2588 That is my favorite thing there. I go to the lego education site often to drool over the materials and consider what would be the best starting point not just based on interest, but cost. It was exciting to see your post today and view how someone is using this material. We would love to win the giveaway set!
Thanks for this opportunity!

My kiddos would love the wild animals one!
Wow! My boys flipped when they saw me looking at these kits! Mind storms is their favorite!
I like the Duplo Transportation Center Best!
How fun! This is our first year homeschooling and I’m loving them all…the space challenge looks very cool to me, but my son might pick something different…lol!
