Will the price of the current WeDo 1.0 be lowered as it gets closer to the end of 2017? LEGO Education will no longer promote, sell, or gain new users of WeDo 1.0 as of December 31, 2017. Once the replacement supply is exhausted, there will be no more WeDo 1.0 replacement support.

No, LEGO ® Education WeDo 1.0 will not be available from LEGO Education after December 31, 2017. So kids, be prepared for a new learning LEGO platform engineered for the next generation of roboticists.Will WeDo 1.0 still be available beyond 2017? One pack is the WeDo ReadyGo 24 Student Class Pack with a price of $2,260, and a cheaper version called WeDo YouCreate 24 Student Class Pack at a price of $1,930. With only $100 $200 over the WeDo 1.0 kit.įor schools, LEGO sells the kit in two class packs. Even so, it’s too much since a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 is priced at $349.95. The price for the WeDo 2.0 kit is not revealed, but I don’t think this kit will far exceed the price of the first version. The first Lego Education WeDo version is priced on Amazon US at $249.95 LEGO at $149.95 and contains only 150 elements, a motor, motion and tilt sensors, and the LEGO USB Hub. Well, if you’re a kid in the middle of about 280 LEGO pieces included in the WeDo 2.0 kit, definitely you find something interesting to do. Otherwise, I have to think what you can do with one motor, and two sensors (a tilt sensor and a motion sensor). The kit features a Bluetooth low-energy Smarthub element to control it from a mobile device like a tablet. If the software side is for middle school and high school students, the hardware area enters in the Internet of Things age. You can also use this kind of software for the EV3 kit, even if you have much more options for programming. But considering the market for this kit, I understand why they use this kind of software to program the robot. It’s like choosing the head, legs, arm, body and someone else builds a humanoid robot. This is … let’s say … a primitive form of programming something. Just drag-and-drop some virtual blocks till the robot do what you want to do. You can program the WeDo 2.0 kit from a drag-and-drop interface. I’m pretty sure that robotics and engineering are two domains that can be covered by this kit. If there is still some place for learning new things, the students can learn engineering and programming. WeDo is already at the second version, and like its predecessor, its mission is to introduce students to robotics. With the WeDo 2.0 kit, they also provide a good documentation with 40 hours of hands-on projects, a large community already created by the WeDo 1.0 kit, and of-course an intuitive platform to build robots. So, what they do when someone or more of them are unhappy? They, I mean LEGO engineers, thinks at a new engineering kit for elementary school students. Probably, someone is always unhappy there in Denmark, at the LEGO Headquarters in Billund. In front of the LEGO bricks, you feel like on a huge field that no longer ends.īut they don’t stop here. They have a good documentation, a large community of users with a wide audience, and a platform for endless construction possibilities. LEGO did a great job with the Mindstorms series. Otherwise, the world is full of projects that come and go overnight. Well, at least these three points a company should check on a long list of requirements. an intuitive platform to build something. to build a large community to change ideas and for support ģ. Three things a company should do to achieve its goals with a kit in robotics:Ģ.
