SPIKE Prime is the LEGO Education robotics kit that followed Mindstorms EV3 in classrooms, launched in 2019. Its heart is the Large Hub, a programmable brick with a five by five light matrix, six ports for motors and sensors, a speaker and a gyro. Robots are programmed in a drag-and-drop language based on Scratch, or in Python, from a computer or a tablet.
2019 LEGO Sets
2019 marked 20 years of LEGO Star Wars with commemorative editions and retro-printed minifigures. LEGO acquired BrickLink, the leading secondary marketplace, deepening ties with the AFOL community. Hidden Side blended augmented reality with ghost-hunting builds, while pop-culture entries like Stranger Things and Overwatch reached new audiences. By this period, earlier in-house lines such as Nexo Knights and Elves had concluded.
