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 son would love any of them! The simple and motorized base set would be great, but I’m not sure he’s quite there yet…so the one you’re giving away looks perfect. : )
4 Boys = Robotics plz
I love the intergration of Lego and learning. These sets are all amazing
It is hard to pick one because they are all great. But the starter set of simple and motorized set would be incredible.
Wow, what a great giveaway. I had no idea there was so much out there for education with legos. I loved the Dinosaur Dig kit as I have a budding paleontologist in my home!
I love LEGO. 🙂 The Simple and Motorized Mechanisms is great. My daughter really wants the Mindstorms robotics.
Simple & motorized base set seems like a great way to start, but all the sets look great! Thanks for the chance to win, I know my Lego loving son would love this!
We would love the simple machines set. We don’t have any lego education sets so anything that would get us started would be great!
The Simple machines would be great!
The simple machines would be perfect for my kindergarten son! He creates “ships” with the basic sets we have and would love pulleys and levers added to them 🙂
