Motion sensor – The Motion Sensor detects objects within a range of 15 centimeters depending on the design of the object. Axles or other LEGO system bricks and other LEGO elements can be attached to the motor. Medium Motor – The Medium Motor can be programmed to clockwise and counter-clockwise and to move at different power levels. (This is really the brain with 2 io ports, Bluetooth and the software execution). It has a built-in RGB light surface that can show up to 10 different colors that be controlled by the software/App. It has two I/O ports to connect to external motors, sensors or any new component belonging to the LPF 2.0 system.

It is powered from a battery source, 2 AA batteries or a rechargeable battery pack. It has built-in Bluetooth low energy to wireless connect to the control software/App. Lego WeDo 2.0 Smarthub – (The brain) an electronic system based building brick that is part of the LEGO Power Functions (LPF) 2.0, a new technology platform for LEGO Education.

Lego Education WeDo 2.0 Core Set with wireless technology. Here is the picture of the Lego WeDo 2.0 Kit. Since many kids are already familiar with Legos, these kits are a great way to get them started in STEM. The curriculum facilitates and supports a clear, easy-to-follow journey through subjects, including: life-, physical-, earth- and space sciences, and engineering. The kit contains everything you need to ignite a child’s desire to learn while enhancing their skills in engineering, science, coding and technology. This post will be the first in a series of posts where I will discuss the WeDo 2.0 projects and how to build them in detail. I will walk you through what it includes and how to sort it out. Recently, I purchased the Lego Education WeDo 2.0 Core set for our school. Lego Education recommends this kit for age 7 years or older (I’m sure you can use this for younger children who love building with legos). If your school does not have a similar STEM program, you can still get started with your child at home using the newest WeDo 2.0 kit.

My son’s school only had one volunteer teacher, so I have become the second parent volunteer where I teach Lego WeDo Robotics to second and third grade students. Many Elementary Schools are introducing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs. LEGO WeDo 2.0 STEM Robotics Kit Introduction
