It steps you through building 12 different Lego WeDo models, each one teaching a specific building concept. One of the most valuable parts of WeDo, though, is the Activity Pack. If you've seen the drag-and-drop programming language Scratch, it is similar to that, except it is even more basic. All the programming is drag-and-drop just line up programming blocks to tell the robot what to do. The Lego WeDo system also has available software to program the robots, an activity pack to guide learning and an excellent guide for teachers to facilitate teaching.īy hooking the robots up to your computer via the included USB hub, the WeDo Software allows you to program the robots, controlling its actions, sounds and responses.

The WeDo is designed to teach simpler concepts to slightly younger kids than the Mindstorms does, and it uses many recognizable Lego pieces. The pieces and parts all come in a sturdy, plastic tub that snaps securely shut. It has over 150 elements in the set including gears, cams, axles, a motor, motion and tilt sensors, USB hub and many other pieces.

Put out by Lego Education, the WeDo Robotics Construction Set is a set of pieces and mechanical parts that can be used to design robots.
