A range of inputs can be used, including from the tilt sensor, motion sensor, noise sensor (from your devices microphone), or from the ‘go’ button. The platform is very simple to use, with blocks aligned side-by-side in the sequence you want your project to execute the instructions. The Lego WeDo 2.0 kit comes with an app for pictorial coding, which lets you get your projects up and running quickly.

He uses the motor for his movement, with gears driving his front axle, and the Lego WeDo smarthub sits on his back. As long as you’ve got the kit, you’re ready to get started right now. The reindeer uses no Lego pieces other than what’s in the standard Lego WeDo 2.0 core kit. The app is a very big download, just under 500MB, but once you’ve got it installed, it’s very easy to set up and get started. For us, a big benefit of having the project instructions within the app is that they’re all in one place, and they can’t get lost or damaged. The app contains instructions for heaps of WeDo projects, and an image-based coding platform that communicates with the smarthub via bluetooth.

As you would expect, it’s compatible with all the standard Lego and Technic components.Īlongside the kit comes the Lego WeDo 2.0 app. The core kit comes with a smarthub, motor, tilt sensor and motion sensor, plus a range of gears, wheels, axles and bricks to create a wide range of projects. Lego WeDo 2.0 is Lego’s entry-level robotics & coding kit, designed for the education space.
