Building the Lego WeDo Sleighīuilding the sleigh involved some pretty intricate design (and a bit of redesign). The app is a very big download, just under 500MB, but once you’ve got it installed, it’s very easy to set up and get started. For us, a big benefit of having the project instructions within the app is that they’re all in one place, and they can’t get lost or damaged. The app contains instructions for heaps of WeDo projects, and an image-based coding platform that communicates with the smarthub via bluetooth. As you would expect, it’s compatible with all the standard Lego and Technic components.Īlongside the kit comes the Lego WeDo 2.0 app. The core kit comes with a smarthub, motor, tilt sensor and motion sensor, plus a range of gears, wheels, axles and bricks to create a wide range of projects. Links to download the WeDo software can be found on LEGO Education Downloads.Lego WeDo 2.0 is Lego’s entry-level robotics & coding kit, designed for the education space. Although it is possible to untether the WeDo by powering the motor directly, it will not follow a program. Creations need to remain tethered to the computer for power and to follow a program. The original LEGO WeDo Core Set (9580) has 158 pieces, including two sensors (tilt and motion), a motor, and a USB hub. WeDo 1.0 (9580) Original LEGO WeDo Core Set WeDo (1.0 and 2.0) can also be programmed using Scratch. Additional curriculum materials are also available from LEGO Education. Curriculum support that is targeted to science and computing is available from within software. Links to download the WeDo 2.0 software can be found on LEGO Education Downloads. The SmartHub is powered by either two AA batteries or a rechargeable battery pack (purchased separately). WeDo 2.0 features a programmable SmartHub that connects to a computer or tablet via Bluetooth Low Energy, meaning that there is no longer a need to physically tether creations to a computer (as was required with the original WeDo kit). The WeDo 2.0 Software is available for desktops and tablets and is free to download. The LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 Core Set (45300) contains 280 pieces, including a motor, and tilt sensor, and motion sensor. WeDo 2.0 was released at the beginning of 2016. The original WeDo set was released in 2009. LEGO WeDo is a robotics kit designed for younger students.
