Modulo
LEGO Star Wars Boost
For Star Wars fans, it’s hard to beat the motivation of building and coding your own droids. LEGO Star Wars Boost (the Droid Commander set) merges the Boost robotics hub with buildable R2-D2 and other droids, then lets kids program them to move, react, and play sounds via the app. Developed as a themed entry point into robotics, it sneaks in coding concepts like sequencing, loops, and conditional actions while kids run missions. Parents love that it combines story-driven play with genuine problem-solving and engineering. It’s ideal for roughly ages 8–12 who already love the Star Wars universe. The app is required and limited to supported devices, and some missions can feel a bit scripted, but free-play mode opens up more creativity. Pro tip: once your child finishes the official missions, challenge them to design a brand-new mission and storyboard it like a mini Star Wars episode.
