Recently, we have been exploring Micro:bit and its huge eco-system to see if we could bring some high-quality lessons to our existing workshop portfolio. Honestly, I am amazed by the Micro:bit eco-system. It is compatible to large amount of hardware, especially the sensors. Soon, I will update a post about the comparison between Micro:bit and …
The first sight of CoderZ gave me the impression that it was teaching some simple operations of turning and moving, as well as math calculation, especially when I do the activities in its trial lesson CoderZ Adventure with LEGO Education Spike Prime. If that is the case, the difference between cyber robotics and physial one …
When we have a LEGO MindStorms set, we could create different models to simulate real world mechanics or creature. We could make the robot carry a stuff, follow a route to transfer the stuff. There is no limitation for the creation. In this post, I would like to introduce a project of having the robot …
Recently, LEGO has updated its robotics software, especially for the products of LEGO MindStorms EV3 and LEGO MindStorms Inventor. Facing so many apps, you might wonder which apps you should install and what are their differences?

Following the previous posts, I will analyze several models used in WRO 2019 Junior Group competition. The game description, rules and scoring could be found at WRO website: https://wro-association.org/competition/previous-challenges Model 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rdJAlipn6M?rel=0 This model has a clip-like attachment, which could open and close. This type of attachment was also popular in previous WRO competition, such …
