For instance, kids get lessons about recycling by designing a truck, and even learn about biology and pollination, though we're not sure how they pull that off with Lego bricks. According to Techcrunch, Lego has has developed a curriculum with over 40 hours of science lessons normally taught in fourth grade. On top of robotics, the next-gen WeDo Kit also teaches kids STEM basics via various science projects. The whole thing is driven by a tablet-based drag-and-drop interface that helps kids code basic robotics apps. The new kit also replaces the old USB cables with a Bluetooth LE hub that connects to the motors and tilt sensors. As before, it's designed to teach kids the basics of robotics, thanks to the Mindstorm-like sets. Lego Education has revealed the WeDo 2.0 robotics kit aimed at elementary school students, over eight years after launching the original WeDo. Axles or other LEGO® system bricks and other LEGO elements can be attached to the motor.You may not have been able to play with Lego in school, but your kids can.
