Robotics
At upper primary and secondary
school levels, robotics are used
as a means of covering important
aspects of the Science &
Technology curriculum.
The LEGO® MINDSTORMS® for
Schools robotics concept enables
students to get to grips with
principles of systems and control
with the help of user-friendly,
modular programming tools.
Students design, make and
program robots that use light,
temperature and touch sensors
to perform a variety of functions,
including recording and collecting
data.
The concept consists of construc-
tion sets, a programmable LEGO
brick called the RCX, a program-
ming tool called ROBOLAB, and a
range of activity packs.

Early Maths
LEGO Education takes a hands-on
and games approach to teaching
maths at this early stage, where
play and repetition are crucial ele-
ments of the learning process.
Using game boards, DUPLO®
bricks and simple LEGO® devices,
children get to grips with clas-
sifying, counting and recognizing
shapes and numbers, and solv-
ing simple maths’ problems.
Early Literacy
Focus on early reading
skills continues to grow.
Letters sets are ideal for
introducing letter names,
shapes and sounds, and
for encouraging young-
sters to develop basic
literacy skills.

Make & Investigate
LEGO Education specializes in
helping teachers to introduce
children to principles of simple
construction and mechanisms.
By allowing children to build
structures and simple machines,
and to test forces and motion, our
sets give hands-on experience
and make learning fun.
Children experiment with wheels
and axles, levers and pulleys, and
investigate the effects of friction,
gravity and speed.
Other sets introduce concepts
of generating, storing and using
energy, and explore motor, wind
and solar power.
