#WEDO 1.0 KIT INSTALL#
Install Scratch Link for Mac/Windows or the app for Chrome OS and Android tablets.LEGO students use LEGO bricks and digital tools to solve problems creatively and to excel at working with others and thinking critically. LEGO Education is based on a hands-on learning approach that actively involves students in their own learning process. The same for the instruction guide, only a digital version is provided in this kit and available on the same application. These Lego Boost creations are totally controlled and coming to life from a tablet application on IOS and Android. Distance sensor is not supported in Scratch.Ĭonnecting EV3 to Scratch Turn on your EV3 by holding down the center button. We can use motors, tilt angle sensors and color sensor.
#WEDO 1.0 KIT BLUETOOTH#
In order to use Lego Boost with Scratch you must install and run Scratch Link, turn on bluetooth in your computer and load Boost extension in Scrach. This unique combination of building with LEGO® bricks, and then using an easy-to-use classroom app to make WeDo 2.0 come to life through engaging lesson plans for science, technology, engineering and math classes, provides you with everything you need to teach programming in your classroom. You will need to do these steps each time you want to use the WeDo.
#WEDO 1.0 KIT SOFTWARE#
Since the Lego software does not run on Chromebooks we will be using Scratch for our programming environment. Motor The motor can be programmed to turn this way or that way and to move at different power levels. The WeDo Software automatically detects the LEGO Hub and any motors and sensors attached to it.

LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 is discontinued and has been replaced by the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential Set. Use the WeDo extension blocks to turn on lights, control motors, and make your project interactive. Connect your WeDo 2.0 by following the steps in the Tips Window. The Device Manager lets you connect WeDo 2.0 to Scratch using Bluetooth. The link above goes directly to the WeDo section. Not all of the building instructions are included (yet) for the WeDo constructions displayed. This site, by Diego Gálvez, has constructions for both NXT and WeDo. The programmes for each project are available but not the building steps so users will have to figure them out for themselves from the photos and videos. It not only has the original 12 builds but some 20 more (and counting) with both visual building instructions and a video showing the completed project.įabio and Pietro Formenti have created a blog with awesome projects. WeDoBots: The unofficial blog for LEGO WeDo Designs

Her blog includes a vehicle displaying some of the student creations. Stephanie Greer describes a mini-lesson, the “WeDo Vehicle Challenge” that she used with her 7 to 9th grade students in her after school club. Stefan even includes some rather sophisticated math to explain the centrifugal forces at work in the Governor project.

Stefan Bracher has building directions and the programme for three very cool projects – Speed Governor, Rocket, and Cable Car. The list below is by no means complete and additions are welcome. There is also a fabulous developing list of activities (building projects) developed by teachers and robotics enthusiasts posted online. LEGO Education offered a set of four Extension activities and the WeDo 8+ Projects Curriculum Pack. The WeDo kit comes with 12 activities that start with a motivating animation, followed by easy to follow building and programming directions.
