Students will use the Spike app for their build. The app can either be downloaded, or used as a web based app. Click on the following link and use the image on the left to see how to access the web version of the app which does not require a download.
LESSON PLANS
Introduction tutorials: Before beginning with the lesson plans, have students complete the Lego tutorials which show them how the components work. This can be found here.
Below are the teaching units offered on the Lego Education site. Two links have been provided in each section:
Teacher lesson and build instructions - this is the link to view the unit and each of the lesson plans within that unit. If there is a build associated with the lesson plan, the instructions for that build can be found under 'Teacher Support', 'Additional Resources', and then 'Building Instructions'.
Student build instructions on Spike - this is the link for students to use to access the lesson story and instructions for their Lego build. Some of the initial lessons do not have build instructions and students are encouraged to be creative and come up with their own build ideas.
