Children invent their own solution by building a LEGO model and programming it to perform a certain task. Cause and effect learning is enhanced by the models remaining tethered to a computer; similar to scientists in working labs, children can test and adjust their programming in real time. The complete LEGO WeDo package includes: 158 LEGO elements (including gears and levers), one motor, one motion sensor, one tilt sensor, a LEGO USB Hub, LabVIEW based drag\u2010and\u2010drop icon\u2010based software, and a CD\u2010Rom that provides instruction and includes 12 activities based on four themes: Amazing Mechanisms, Wild Animals, Play Soccer and Adventure Stories.<\/p>\n<p>Go <a href=\"http:\/\/engineeringtv.com\/blogs\/etv\/archive\/2008\/09\/17\/lego-education-wedo.aspx\">here<\/a> to watch a demonstration video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From: Engineering TV LEGO Education WeDo &#8211; powered by LabVIEW, redefines classroom robotics, making it possible for primary school students 7\u201311 years of age to build and program their own solutions.
