LEGO Education

LEGO Education turns beloved bricks into a structured STEM curriculum, using specialized sets and lesson plans to teach engineering, coding, and collaboration. From simple machines kits in early grades to robotics platforms like SPIKE or Mindstorms in upper grades, students build models and then test, tweak, and document their designs. Developed by LEGO in partnership with educators, the program emphasizes hands-on problem solving and teamwork, aligning activities with standards. Parents and co-op leaders appreciate how naturally kids engage with building challenges and how easily lessons can be extended into open-ended projects. The main downside is cost: dedicated LEGO Education sets and teacher guides are a significant investment, though they are durable and reusable for multiple years and groups.
