Welcome to LEGO Robotics! During your Robotics time, you can choose to have the kids follow the UNEARTHED program or to do other lessons. It's up to you! There will be no Showcase this year for Primary. It would be a better idea for you to have a Showcase at your school site if you are going to showcase the Essential Kit and/or the Explore UNEARTHED Program.
If you want to just do other lessons with the Essential kit, start here: https://education.lego.com/en-us/lessons?products=SPIKE%E2%84%A2+Essential
Uncover the Future with UNEARTHED!
This year we will be using the FIRST AGE program called UNEARTHED.℠ Every artifact we uncover holds a story. Each tool, each innovation, each work of art connects us to the people and ideas that came before us. Using STEM skills and teamwork, today we can dig deeper into discoveries than ever before. During this archaeology-inspired season, teams use STEM and collaboration skills to unearth new findings about themselves and their collective communities to help build a better world.

About your Spike Essential Kit:
A few notes about the kit:
Put the stickers on the dividers (see photos below)
You will need to update the hub to make sure it has the latest update (Spike 3) and that you name it to go with the tub. I recommend something short like your school and a number (such as POR 1 for Portola #1). You will also want to put stickers on the hub and the tub!
Extra parts Replacement box - Keep those in a separate area so they are accessible when they are needed.
Small accessories and parts: A recommendation from our trainer Stephan - use a salsa cup or a baggie to keep those items. There are so many of them and they can get lost easily!
