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 really like the WeDo set. I love that my daughter can learn science by building a wild animal or learn about social studies by building a boat (I’m thinking the MayFlower). There is so much to like!
I think the Simple Machines unit would be very nice to introduce science in a very hands on way. I remember being taught science in public school and it was very dry. Another wonderful thing about homeschooling is the hands on activities you can provide individually.
I LOVE the WeDo and Simple Machines sets.
I love the Simple and Motorized mechanisms base set!
The 9686 Simple & Powered Machines Set looks like a great introduction for my boys!
My boys would love these! Especially the mindstorms sets. Thanks!
My boys would love these! Especially the mindstorms sets. Thanks so much!
I love the simple and motorized base set. Thanks.
Any of the sets would be awesome, and I would love to share not only with my own girls, but also my girl scout troop.
What a wonderful way to incorporate a hobby into our schooling. I have several lego fanatics around here!
