1998 LEGO Sets
In 1998, LEGO took a major leap into technology and digital play with the introduction of LEGO Mindstorms, revolutionizing the way users interacted with LEGO bricks. This new theme combined programmable bricks, LEGO-compatible sensors, and motors, allowing users to build and code fully functional robots. Mindstorms became a cornerstone for LEGO’s STEM-focused educational initiatives, bridging the gap between traditional play and technology-driven learning.
