Students have been busy doing lots of coding and robotics in ES. If you are looking to purchase any of these sets for your child to use at home, here are some recommendations of the sets we use in ES. We use them for robotics design challenges in many subjects and grades.
Lego Wedo/Lego Essentials: These are great introductions to the world of robotics and coding. LEGO Education has recently discontinued the Wedo 2.0 Sets and introduced the LEGO Essentials this year. Although the Wedo sets are still fun, the newer LEGO Essentials would be a better long term investment. Great from KG-Gr3!
Dash and Dot Robotics: The Dash robot is fantastic and offers a number of accessories you can add which I highly recommend (Gripper and Ball Launcher). They offer free apps (Blockly) and still fun for students all the way up to Gr4/5.
LEGO Spike Prime: These recently released sets are great for students who have done a bit of coding before and geared more towards upper ES (and MS students).
You can buy them on Lazada and various educational distributors here in Thailand. Please note, these are sold independently by 3rd party vendors and ISB does not profit in any way through these sales.
