We have up to 10 sets available for rental, and ideally students work in pairs on each set.

The LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime set is a hands-on learning concept for STEM lessons in grades 5 to 8. The SPIKE™ Prime set combines colorful LEGO elements with easy-to-use hardware and a child-friendly drag-and-drop programming language based on Scratch. It encourages students to think critically and solve complex problems - regardless of their current level of learning. From simple introductory projects to complex construction options - the SPIKE Prime set helps all students to learn the basics of STEM subjects in a playful way and acquire important skills for the 21st century. This way, the children are optimally prepared for their professional future and have a lot of fun at the same time.

The programmable hub is shaped like a LEGO brick and is the heart of the SPIKE Prime system. The device offers state-of-the-art technical functions and is still simple and intuitive to use. It has 6 inputs/outputs, a customizable light matrix (5 x 5), Bluetooth, a speaker, a 6-axis gyro sensor and a rechargeable battery. The SPIKE Prime set also includes 3 motors of different sizes and several high-precision sensors. With the hub, the LEGO® Technic elements and the numerous colorful building blocks, the students can build creative robots and motorized models that interact with their environment. Thanks to the many connections on the hub, the motors and sensors and the new, large building blocks, the students need less time to build and can learn more. With the robust storage box and the 2 sorting trays, preparation and cleanup only requires a minimal amount of time. The smaller sorting trays are ideal for tables where there is not much space.

The models can be programmed using the app for tablets or computers. It is based on the popular programming language Scratch and inspires teachers and students with an intuitive programming interface. In addition to the first steps exercises, the app contains 3 tasks whose content is tailored to the current STEM subject curricula and focuses on the topics of mechanical engineering and computer science. The tasks are designed for grades 5 to 8 and are tailored to 45-minute lessons. They encourage students to think critically and solve complex problems. This allows them to improve their STEM knowledge in a playful way - regardless of their previous level of learning. The comprehensive, interactive teaching materials for SPIKE™ Prime are available online and provide teachers with everything they need to confidently implement the learning units in class, even without prior knowledge.
