Take It To The Next Level By Combining Sets!

LEGOⓇ Education and the Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach (CEEO) have co-produced activity briefs, which are based on the research and development of placemat instructions. The newest set of activity briefs encourages the combination of LEGOⓇ Education SPIKE™ Prime and BricQ Motion Prime, or SPIKE™ Essential and BricQ Motion Essential. These activities combining sets can open unlimited possibilities for what students can learn when using the LEGOⓇ Learning System in the classroom!

Here’s a peek at the challenges.

Combining SPIKE Essential and BricQ Motion Essential:

• Create a Critter: Design a model of a plant or animal with a structure or function to help it survive and grow.
• Safe Crossing: Build an automated crossing that lets animals and humans safely pass.

Combining SPIKE Prime and BricQ Motion Prime:

• Smart House: Go Green: Automate an aspect of your home to make it easy to be environmentally friendly!
