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!)

The LEGO Education WeDo Construction Set looks so cool! I would love to play with that, never mind my kids! 🙂
I think they all look great and would be loads of fun. Because my children struggle with dyslexia, I believe the story starter set would be great motivation for many writing assignments.
I like the story starters and the simple machines.
I would like to try the We-do Lego Education Pack
The simple and motorized set looks like a great starting point.
I love this- never even heard lego made these sets/kits. I think the story sets sound fun!
If I’m dreaming big……..the MINDSTORMS Education Base Set with TETRIX looks like a lot of fun. My boys would love to build with that set!!!
I can’t decide between the Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Base Set and the Simple Machines set. Both look amazing!
We already love Legos for play, and so incorporating Lego Education into our curriculum is totally win-win!
I like them all! Would love to get the simple and motorized mechanisms set or the story starter set (having both would round out science and liberal arts!)
