LEGO Education SPIKE Prime is a modern STEAM learning tool designed for students in grades 6–8 that transforms the classroom into a space for discovery and innovation. By combining colorful LEGO Technic elements, simple hardware, and an intuitive, drag-and-drop programming environment inspired by Scratch, SPIKE Prime engages students through playful, hands-on learning activities that encourage critical thinking and creative problem-solving, regardless of their prior knowledge or experience.
At the heart of the system is the programmable Hub — a compact yet powerful device featuring six input/output ports, a 5×5 light matrix, Bluetooth connectivity, a speaker, a six-axis gyroscope, and a rechargeable battery. The set also includes high-precision motors and sensors (distance, force, and color), allowing students to design and build interactive robots, dynamic machines, and data-driven projects. With over 500 LEGO Technic pieces, sturdy storage boxes, and sorting trays, preparation and cleanup are quick and easy, giving students more time to focus on learning and creativity.
The user-friendly programming app for tablets and computers is based on Scratch, one of the most popular educational programming languages in the world. It includes three curriculum-aligned STEAM units optimized for 45-minute lessons, focusing on engineering and computer science. These lessons help students explore key STEAM concepts while developing computational thinking, teamwork, and design skills. The clear online lesson plans and teacher resources provide all the support educators need to confidently lead classes, regardless of their programming background.
SPIKE Prime encourages students to apply the principles of engineering design, analyze and solve problems through algorithmic reasoning, create projects that integrate hardware and software for data collection and communication, and work with variables, arrays, and cloud data. It builds essential 21st-century skills such as creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration — all while making learning engaging and fun.
