Product description

Part of the LEGO Learning System, SPIKE Prime engages Key Stage 3 and upper primary pupils in hands-on exploration of STEAM concepts while developing critical thinking, data analysis and complex problem-solving skills. Curriculum-aligned learning units use real-world engineering and computer science challenges to help students systematically analyse data, break down complex problems and design creative solutions.

SPIKE Prime combines Scratch-based Word Block and text-based Python coding with versatile Technic hardware—including a 6-port Programmable Hub, high-torque Angular Motors, Distance, Force and Colour Sensors—to bring advanced robotics to life. Pupils iterate through engineering design cycles while collaborating with peers on group challenges. Flexible built-in scaffolding and comprehensive unit plans enable teachers to confidently lead secondary robotics and prepare competition teams for FIRST® LEGO® League.
