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!)

Like the Preschool kits- could really see my 3 yo getting into them Also, the BuildtoExpress looks cool for my elementary age kids.
Build to Express – to help my daughter with expressing herself!
I think mine would like the LEGO Education WeDo Construction Set with the amazing mechanisms expansion.
My son would love the simple machines!
My son would love the simple machines! He loves building cars and things with his legos. Designing and redesigning.
The simple and motorized mechanisms base set looks great! I have two boys who would love anything with wheels and gears!
I like simple machines! It looks the least scary for us “non robotics genius” people!
My boys would love any of these!
My boys LOVE Legos of any kind and would love something more complicated to figure out – even the teenager!
My family loves Legos! The Simple Machines set is great because of the basic physics lessons that it would cover (and my oldest would still enjoy it). However, if I could pick anything Lego, it would be a MINDSTORMS NXT set (my oldest would love the robotics set). Maybe he and his siblings could build a robot to pick up all of the Legos that are always on the floor. 🙂
