Our new units do not require the full educational LEGO WeDo sets to be bought. The robotics elements of LEGO WeDo include motors and sensors. Children learn more quickly when a model executes a program, physically, right before them. Mechanisms, built by and ultimately designed by, the pupils themselves set computer programming in a meaningful context. Using robotics promotes interest in science and engineering, as well as computer science and helps develop motor skills through model building. They build models using the bricks they know and love and then program them interact with the world around them! Lego WeDo is a fantastic opportunity for children to bring the physical world to life through code. This helps schools address the controlling physical systems objective of the National Curriculum for Computing at Key Stage 2. This week sees the launch of iCompute’s new six week programming unit for Year 3 and 4-5 week unit for Year 4 which uses LEGO™ WeDo to teach children how to program robots and models in primary computing lessons.
