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!)

Since my daughter discovered Legos last year, I’ve been stalking the Simple Machines set. She has a very mechanical brain and I know she would LOVE this set. To win would be awesome!
The simple and motorized mechanisms base set looks like a great place to start. My son would love this!
Simple Machine Set…any of them would be GREAT!
We have been looking into such products as my son loves constructing, designing and building. He has an engineer’s mind. This would be a PERFECT addition to our homeschool.
I like the Motorized Mechanisms, though all look really cool!
I love the simple machines! My son would go crazy!!!
I am learning more and more and can see how they benefit children’s imagination. I would like the Story Starters but everything looks cool!
I like the simple motorized mechanism set.
The simple & motorized mechanism base set looks great.
They all look great, but I would probably go with the Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Base Set. My sons are obsessed with Legos, so this would be great!
