Unit Plans LEGO ® Education SPIKE™ Prime
SPIKE ™ Prime offers four learning units. These units are designed to develop critical thinking skills through complex, challenging and meaningful STEAM challenges based on stimulating themes.
Invention Squad Students apply their technical design skills by defining a problem and criteria for success. They realize different prototypes, establish systematic test procedures, analyze data to improve their solutions and justify the choice of the solution they have chosen.
Kickstart a Business Students develop efficient problem solving skills by breaking down problems into sub-problems. They use pseudocodes as a tool to sequence actions, and use conditions and compound conditions to program encoded devices.
Life Hacks Students design projects that combine hardware and software components. They create variables and lists representing different types of data and perform mathematical operations on their values. They use cloud data in order for them to be useful.
Competition Ready
Students discover the world of robotics competitions. To build an efficient robot, they analyze and perfect programs. The design process allows them to develop a solution to complete missions, while acquiring skills related to collaboration and teamwork. This unit requires the SPIKE ™ Prime Expansion Pack (2498384).
The Digital Experience
The LEGO ® Education SPIKE™ App
