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!)

The Simple Machines set would be a great starting point for my boys. They love LEGO!! Thank you for the opportunity 🙂
The simple and motorized machines set is a favorite!
Any of them from the 7+ age stuff, but particularly the machines and mechanisms kits.
I love the idea because it combines learning and legos which sounds like fun!
They all look fun!
My kids have shown an interest in pulleys & levers. I think the Simple Machines Set would be great for them! Have fun & learning – what a great combo!!
we LOVE LOVE LOVE Lego Education! I think one of our top picks would be the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Pack with Robotics Engineering & Curriculum. 🙂
I love the WeDo education set or the story starter set.
I like it because it’s hands-on and it helps develop critical thinking! I love the construction sets and all the concepts they teach while the kids “play”! I didn’t realize that they had a homeschool pack too!! Would love to look into a set for Christmas;)
this looks awesome
