LEGO WeDo 2.0 Courses

Join Our Holiday Workshop

Regular Course

Our new courses will use one of the most popular Lego WeDo2.0 educational set, and meanwhile, make it work together with the most popular Scratch programming language.

LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0 is developed to engage and motivate elementary students’ interest in learning science and engineering-related subjects. This is done through the use of motorized LEGO® models and simple programming.

Our Lego WeDo2.0 courses will not only teach how to build those engineering models through step-by-step instruction, but also explain how those mechanical structures make the model move. We will learn the features of the mechanical structures, such as bevel gears, gear box, belt drive and crankshaft, etc.

Integrated Courses

Meanwhile, every project of the Lego WeDo 2.0 will be programmed by both Lego Programming Blocks and Scratch 3.0 software. Students will learn that different tools can communicate and collaborate together. They will also experience the powerful functionality of Scratch 3.0. Through it, their little “robot” can control the software program in Scratch, or vice versa, experiencing the interaction between software and real world.
