At St. Michael’s N.S., we know that hands-on learning engages students at every level, sparks creativity, develops critical thinking skills, ignites career possibilities — and is just plain fun!!
LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 brings to life 280 building elements that motivate students to collaborate, build, problem-solve, and explore, all while enhancing their STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) learning and developing 21st-century skills. The combination of physical LEGO® bricks, curriculum-based activities, and intuitive block-based coding means that interactive, creative learning is easier than ever to achieve at our school- students can see their builds in action and test and refine their problem-solving skills!
The LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 Core Set, which includes 280 bricks, as well as sensors and motors, offers endless possibilities for making abstract concepts concrete by using tangible elements students can manipulate with their hands. Designed with collaboration in mind, each core set supports two students, introducing them to science, computational thinking, and engineering principles in a fun and engaging way.
