“Unlike previous series from LEGO Education, intended mainly for learning robotics and programming, SPIKE is a “cross-curricular STEAM solution”. SPIKE Essential is a box of contradictions. While its numerous qualities aid and facilitate school use, others undermine this... More outcome. Building constructions should be faster now, thanks to thoughtfully including special bricks that speed up this process. That’s a very important feature for standard school lessons.”
Full review at www.robocamp.eu
“The kit includes plates in several sizes, connectors, bricks with pins, or columns to quickly raise an element up a level. You can create something with fewer elements, which means less time spent building. Saving time is crucial when you have only 45 minutes for a lesson.”
