Lego SPIKE Prime Set

The LEGO SPIKE Prime Kit is a hands-on robotics and coding platform that helps middle school students explore engineering, computer science, and physical science concepts through active problem-solving. Combining familiar LEGO building elements with motors, sensors, and block-based coding, the kit allows students to design, build, test, and improve interactive systems.

In the classroom, SPIKE is especially effective for engaging students in the engineering design process. Students define problems, build prototypes, write simple programs to control behavior, and iterate based on test results. Projects naturally integrate science concepts such as motion, forces, and energy with computational thinking skills like sequencing, loops, conditionals, and debugging.
