LEGO® Education SPIKE Prime Set

Product Information

SPIKE Prime is the go-to solution for secondary education as it engages students in critical thinking, data analysis, and prototype development as they refine creative hands-on solutions to real-world problems. It allows them to explore topics like data science while setting the foundation for future study of machine learning and artificial intelligence.

The Hub uses standard USB 500mA charging current. The charging time (from empty to full) is approximately 3 hours. Classroom example: Test the efficiency of two different grabber designs and determine the best one based on specific test criteria. I have been working on this review for more than a year, most of that time learning about the Powered Up components included in the set. I also struggled to decide what I was reviewing in the first place — the specific selection of parts in the set, the app that brings it to life, or the broader Powered Up ecosystem?

Are you a home user, looking for a way to provide home learning activities for children of all ages? Competition Ready unit plan with over 10 hours of STEAM learning linked to curriculum standards. Includes comprehensive online lesson plans and teacher support. If no one answers the door when our courier attempts delivery they'll leave a card letting you know they've been and which of the following actions they've taken Every lesson is designed to help students develop a full range of STEAM skills. SPIKE Prime mainly covers curriculum standards within science, engineering, and computer science, with extension activities that contribute to literacy and math. For detailed market-specific educational standards, please see the individual activities on LEGOeducation.com/lessons . Like all of the LEGO Learning System products, the SPIKE Prime curriculum is available in 21 languages: English (US), English (UK), English (AU), Chinese (simplified), Japanese, Russian, German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, French, Italian, Korean, Portuguese (BR), Spanish, Spanish (MX), Polish, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Arabic.

The Invention Squad unit focuses on the processes involved in engineering design. What will your students invent today? Students can focus on single steps of the design process:Tie – The more nuaced support in MINDSTORMS can be convenient, but is more complex when you just want the engine to stop when the train falls over. BricQ Motion Prime gives students a strong foundational understanding of physical science concepts (i.e., forces, motion, and interactions) while setting the stage for computational thinking (e.g., cause and effect, data analysis and synthesis). As with all of the LEGO Learning System solutions, we recommend one set for every two students in a classroom setting. When connecting to a Hub that hasn't been renamed, the LEGO ® Education SPIKE ™ App will automatically ask you to rename it. Giving each Hub a unique name will help you differentiate between multiple Hubs in close proximity (e.g., when using Bluetooth). They both also support the popular Python programming language, which is a modern general-purpose programming language that prioritizes coding simplicity over highest-performance. That said, it is not a visual language — you will be writing your entire program in a text editor. (I did not experiment with Python while writing this review, because the Scratch-based language was sufficient for my simple needs.)

You can turn off the hub by pressing the button and holding it down for 10 seconds till the light turns off. P.S. For comparison, the iPhone 4 was released in 2013, and the iPhone 12 was released in 2020 — that’s a massive improvement in just 7 years. For Students and Teachers: It it easy to recommend Spike Prime in a classroom setting because it allows students to build some cool robots and learn basic programming skills in an approachable way. It is meaningfully simpler than the EV3 system which it replaces. More importantly, it is designed with a more inclusive aesthetic and color palette — let’s get all students excited about engineering and programming! SPIKE Prime is a better choice in the classroom since the part colors will match the curriculum materials.Only included in the newest version of the expansion set – this part makes it easy to attach 3rd party electronics to your LEGO model.
