LEGO Education WeDo – powered by LabVIEW, redefines classroom robotics, making it possible for primary school students 7–11 years of age to build and program their own solutions. Children invent their own solution by building a LEGO model and programming it to perform a certain task. Cause and effect learning is enhanced by the models remaining tethered to a computer; similar to scientists in working labs, children can test and adjust their programming in real time. The complete LEGO WeDo package includes: 158 LEGO elements (including gears and levers), one motor, one motion sensor, one tilt sensor, a LEGO USB Hub, LabVIEW based drag‐and‐drop icon‐based software, and a CD‐Rom that provides instruction and includes 12 activities based on four themes: Amazing Mechanisms, Wild Animals, Play Soccer and Adventure Stories.
