LEGO Education Technic sets are designed to teach engineering and mechanics through hands-on building and experimentation. The "Advanced Air Power Set" (9633) includes components to create models powered by air pressure, such as pneumatic systems, helping students understand the principles of air pressure and pneumatics in mechanical systems. The "Simple Machines Set" (9689) introduces basic mechanical concepts through the construction of models that demonstrate levers, pulleys, gears, and wheels, providing a foundational understanding of simple machines and their applications. These sets enhance STEM education by allowing students to explore and apply engineering principles in an engaging, interactive manner.
2012 LEGO Sets
In 2012, LEGO experienced a landmark year, particularly in licensed themes and brand expansion. One of the biggest announcements was the renewal of LEGO’s Star Wars license with Lucasfilm, ensuring that Star Wars sets would continue production until at least 2022.
