Going Further with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime

Secondary teachers - the challenges are more advanced but the fun remains!    Primary teachers are welcomed too!

This practical session will explore how more advanced coding and robotic concepts, such as the use of sensors, can be taught in an engaging and playful way. You will build, code, test, and iterate as the challenges mount, and will need to work collaboratively, think critically, and solve problems whilst building and coding in this fun, playful session. You will experience Constructionist pedagogy and see how SPIKE Prime offers you and your students a real and tangible STEAM solution.

Explore STEAM Learning with LEGO Education SPIKE Essential

Perfect for primary teachers.

Get hands-on as you build and code with SPIKE Essential! This fun and playful session will explore this Primary resource from LEGO Education and introduce you to the hardware, software and lesson materials as you collaborate to solve challenges. You will be set building and coding challenges, and discover two different ways of programming - suitable for both younger and older primary children. Experience Constructionist pedagogy and see how SPIKE Essential offers you and your primary students a real and tangible STEAM solution.

Text-based Coding with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime

Perfect for secondary teachers.

This hands-on session will still contain plenty of building, fun and playfulness, but will go deeper into coding as we explore how to control SPIKE Prime robots with Python. 

You will use and understand Python concepts to get a robot vehicle moving, and introduce autonomy through the use of sensors.  This session will start with the basics of Python, and so is suitable for those who are curious coders!
