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 husband, 4 children and I went to watch the National LEGO Robotics Championship this year!!! Amazing engineering and computer skills these children are learning. If we had our choice, I would pick 45544 LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Core Set!!
I like the EV3 Space Challenge Combo Pack because my son is interested in space science and I think he would love the opportunity to use legos to explore this subject.
The Wedo Construction set looks good. They all do.
My boys are very hands on and enjoy playing with Legos everyday. They would love any of these sets!!
Simple Machines would be great for my boys!
The LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Core Set would be pretty awesome!!!!!!!!
The LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Core Set would be pretty awesome!
Simple machines, for sure. My kiddo would love this!
I think my kiddos would spend a lot of time with the simple and motorized mechanisms base set. They could come up with all kinds of crazy ideas. Love those kiddos! And love legos!
Love the simple and motorized mechanisms set!
