SPIKE™ Essential

LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential engages students in hands-on investigation of STEAM concepts using everyday themes. In addition to learning computer science and design engineering concepts, students will also develop their literacy, math, and social-emotional skills as they turn science concepts into reality.

The resources on this page introduce teachers and students to coding, icon and word blocks, and computational thinking. Below these guides we have included a series of Lesson Progressions for Grades 1-5 that identifies a recommended sequence of lessons and extensions to help your students maximize their experience using SPIKE™ Essential.
