Got this from Lego Education:

As a valued LEGO^® Education customer, I want to personally inform you about an important update regarding our LEGO Education product offering. We will be retiring the LEGO^® Education SPIKE™ Portfolio as of June 30, 2026. 

Rest assured, you can continue to use SPIKE products in your classroom, summer, and after-school programs for years to come. The SPIKE App will be supported until June 30, 2031, with ongoing software support during this five-year period, including bug fixes and operating system updates.  

We greatly appreciate your investment in the SPIKE Portfolio, and we are dedicated to supporting your continued success with these products. Although SPIKE sets will not be available for public sale after June 30, 2026, we have reserved a supply of core sets to support your ongoing implementation needs. Should you wish to purchase additional SPIKE sets between June 2026 and June 2027, we are here to assist you. 

For more information and frequently asked questions, please visit our website. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact your Account Manager. Additionally, please continue to use the LEGO Education Support Portal for technical support. 

Please note that on January 12, LEGO Education announced a new hands-on solution and curriculum for computer science and artificial intelligence (AI) for K-8 classrooms that fosters collaboration, creativity, and learning outcomes. Shipping from April 2026. For more information, please visit LEGOeducation.com/CS-AI.

We sincerely appreciate your dedication to creating hands-on learning experiences for your students. We look forward to continuing to support your STEAM education initiatives and building joyful learning experiences for students and teachers. 

Sincerely,

Alexander Mitchell

Vice President, US

And the follow up

I just wanted to touch base after the recent email from our US Vice President, Alexander Mitchell, about the retirement of SPIKE Essential and SPIKE Prime. We understand this might bring up some questions, and I’m here to help with anything you need! 

As Alexander explained, we have a robust plan for how we’ll continue to support your SPIKE implementation. We’ll keep inventory of sets available until June 2027, and the SPIKE App will be fully supported and updated until June 2031. This FAQ page has all the details. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out. I’m here for you and want to make sure that you have all the support you need to continue making the most of your SPIKE implementation. I can also share more information about our newest solution, LEGO® Education Computer Science and AI, if that’s something you’d like to start exploring!
