I guess LEGO didn't read our article on whether girls and boys need different tech toys. In the LEGO WeDo 2.0 'What's in the box' video we find out that Milo the robot model that features in the promotional material is male, this seems a shame. My kids (aged 7 and 9) really like the look of the models. The LEGO WeDo 2.0 content reflects modern primary school computing terminology and themes and feels much more up to date. With 2.0 the models can move around more as they aren't tethered to a USB port and the new material takes advantage of this. The packaging varies between countries to tie in with the local curriculum.
There's lots of STEM focused material and also computing content.
You can also purchase over 40 hours of educational material including starter projects, guided activities and open activities. These multiple tools are combined to introduce students to multiple programming languages through which they can learn coding basic principles via hands on applied projects.LEGO WeDo 2.0 includes a basic getting started project.
The Scratch program also includes an extension package for the WeDo 2.0 which enables using the Scratch programming blocks to interact with your WeDo 2.0 creations and add visual animations and sounds.
Accompanying guides helps teachers to become confident users of the WeDo 2.0 Core Set. The WeDo 2.0 Curriculum Pack covers life, physical, earth, and space sciences, as well as engineering, based upon the latest science standards and was created to enhance students' curiosity and science skills. There are 27 lessons provided per grade that include a combination of LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 source projects, LKD publishing WeDo 2.0 source projects, as well as, LKD publishing Scratch coding projects (using the MIT Scratch programming language and software). LKD publishing authors have created this resource to expand on the number of lesson plans provided by LEGO Education’s WeDo 2.0 product targeting primary levels.
